Unlock your potential in electrical engineering with a challenging and rewarding PhD opportunity. Collaborate with industry leaders and academic experts to develop innovative solutions for wind turbine electrical and control systems.
About the Role
This full-time PhD position is available immediately, offering a fully funded scholarship and the chance to work on real-world projects that impact renewable energy. As an electrical engineer with this company, you will conduct advanced research on wind turbine generators, inverters-load controllers, and battery energy storage systems.
* Conduct cutting-edge research on wind turbine generators (e.g., PMG, DFIG), inverters-load controllers, and battery energy storage systems.
* Develop digital twin models using tools like Python, MATLAB/Simulink, PSCAD to simulate and optimize electrical and control systems.
Key Requirements:
* A Master's degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Control Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related field.
* Strong knowledge of electrical machines and power electronics, control systems and signal processing, and energy systems modelling and simulation.
The successful candidate will have excellent problem-solving and teamwork skills, strong written and verbal communication skills, and experience working with industrial communication protocols (e.g., Modbus). A background in electric, electronic, control optimization, or hybrid control strategies is a plus.
Benefits include a fully funded Australian Government supported PhD scholarship, joint academic and industry supervision, access to unique laboratory and field-deployed wind turbine facilities, and support for publication and professional development.
Adelaide, South Australia offers a great quality of life, with easy access to beaches, parks, and cultural attractions. With a growing innovation ecosystem, Adelaide is an exciting place to launch your career.
