The Monash University PhD Scholarship in Energy Studies is a prestigious opportunity for exceptional students to pursue advanced research in the field of energy. This scholarship is designed to support the next generation of energy leaders and is a testament to the university's commitment to innovation and excellence.

About the Scholarship

The Zema Energy Studies Scholarship is a world-class PhD program that aims to develop the nation's future energy leaders.

Research Areas

The scholarship provides funding for research in various areas, including:

  • Supplying Synthetic Inertia: This project explores how batteries connected to inverters can be used to substitute for physical inertia, and to compare these with generation turbines (fossil and renewable) and synchronous condensers.
  • Role of Storage in the Energy Market: This project aims to understand the optimal mix of energy storage technologies, including lithium-ion batteries, pumped hydro energy storage, and thermal storage.
  • Role of EVs in the Grid: This project will develop models to study and evaluate the impact of electric vehicles on the power distribution network.

Candidate Requirements

To be eligible for the scholarship, candidates must have a strong academic record and a passion for energy research. They should also be able to demonstrate their ability to work independently and as part of a team.

How to Apply
