PhD Studentship: Carnot Battery in Facilitating Sector Coupling to Achieve Net-zero
<p>Birmingham Centre for Energy Storage (BCES) of the University of Birmingham is a cross-campus centre with its hub in the School of Chemical Engineering. BCES is part of Birmingham Energy Institute (BEI) and brings together researchers from across the University to drive innovation in clean energy conversion and storage for decarbonising energy systems, transport and industry. Research activities at BCES include both fundamental and applied research, covering novel materials, devices, and systems for thermal, mechanical, and chemical energy conversion and storage, multiscale modelling, process scale-up and manufacturing technologies.</p><p>This PhD project focuses on Carnot battery technology and its role in facilitating sector coupling in energy systems to achieve net-zero. We aim to develop detailed, unified component, process and system models, and propose optimal design and smart control/operational strategies of Carnot battery systems within complex sector coupling scenarios, along with addressing and promoting opportunities of using such promising technologies in supporting the transition towards net-zero.</p><p>We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated candidate who meets the academic requirements for enrolment for a PhD degree at the University of Birmingham. The candidate is expected to have a background in Chemical and Process Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, or a related field, and an enquiring and rigorous approach to research together with a strong intellect and disciplined work pattern. Training will be provided in the relevant investigative techniques. Good team-working, observational and communication skills are essential.</p><p>The project will be supervised by Dr Jian Song (<a href="#">j.song.2@bham.ac.uk</a>).</p><p><strong>Funding Details</strong></p><p>Fully funded Studentship for UK home students, covering tuition fees and a tax-free stipend. International and EU students are eligible but need to pay for the difference in the tuition fees.</p>
