Optimized Control of a Modular Energy Hub with Minimal EMC Signature
Improve the efficiency, compactness, and modularity of renewable energy hubs through advanced control techniques.
Best for:Best for electrical engineering graduates with a strong background in power electronics, control systems, and renewable energy integration.
Overview
This PhD position at Université Grenoble Alpes (LETI) focuses on optimizing the management of multi-source energy hubs that integrate photovoltaic systems, electric vehicles, the grid, and stationary storage. The research aims to enhance overall efficiency, compactness, and modularity through advanced power converter control strategies. Key approaches include minimizing losses, utilizing AC input opposition for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) reduction, and handling high-voltage battery configurations. The successful candidate will work closely with researchers to develop converters that optimize energy performance and environmental impact.
