Clayton South, Victoria, Australia Monash University Full time
PhD Energy Leader Opportunity

Monash University is seeking a highly motivated and talented individual to pursue a PhD in Energy Studies as part of the Zema Energy Studies Scholarship.

The scholarship has been established to honour the memory of AEMO's founding Chief Executive Officer, energy reform leader and Monash alumnus Matt Zema, and is designed to support the next generation of leaders to meet Australia's energy sector challenges.

The PhD program is intended to deepen students' expertise, unlock their full leadership potential and help them gain exposure to Australia's national energy industry.

Candidates interested in a Masters by Research in the below topic areas will also be considered.

Potential Research Areas
  • 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.
    • Importantly, it also explores how new markets (for example, the existing Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS) market) can be developed to supply synthetic inertia.
  • Role of Storage in the Energy Market
    • This project will investigate, through numerical analysis, the optimal and likely mix of storage in the energy market.
    • Energy storage can take many forms, e.g. lithium ion batteries at a variety of scales, pumped hydro energy storage, or 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.
    • Insights gained from the models can be then used to design strategies to incentivise preferable charging/discharging behaviours or to load balance the power grid.

Candidates will have the opportunity to work with experienced supervisors and researchers in the field of energy studies.

The scholarship provides a stipend of $50,000 per annum plus the opportunity for a paid internship with AEMO.

Applications are open to candidates who are interested in pursuing a PhD in Energy Studies.
