Accelerating the Deployment of Offshore wind using DC technology
Industrial Doctoral Network, part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA); the European Union’s reference funding programme for doctoral education and postdoctoral training of researchers.
Our training programme specialises in Offshore Wind and DC technologies in collaboration with academia and industry.
Objectives:
-
To educate a group of highly skilled researchers with an innovative mindset and strong entrepreneurial skills.
-
To develop the most appropriate models and methods for a coordinated approach to offshore renewable connections to meet a net-zero emission target.
Key Research Areas
Offshore Wind
Wind turbines, wind power collection, wind farms and control.
DC Technologies
AC/DC converters, HVDC control and DC network operation & protection.
AC Grid
Stability and control of AC grids.
Our consortium, consisting of six academic institutions and 13 industry leaders, establishes a powerful network that provides our doctoral candidates with a thorough understanding of research to industrial scaling and application, equipping them to address the challenges for achieving net-zero emissions.
