CALL FOR ONE RESEARCH GRANT UNDER THE ResiMicrogrid RESEARCH PROJECT

Grant: Research Fellowship for MSc
Reference: ResiMicrogrid/BI/03
Application period: 23th November to 7th December, 2022

The Institute of Systems and Robotics of the University of Coimbra (ISR-UC) 
opens a call for applications for one (1) Research Fellowship for MSc. in 
the framework of the R&D project “ResiMicrogrid - Optimization and 
Management of Microgrids to Deliver High Power Quality in Critical and 
Disaster Situations”, with the reference UTAP-EXPL/CA/0065/2021 financed by 
FCT through national funds.

Scientific Area: Electrical and Computer Engineering or others.

Work Plan: The selected candidate will work on the development of a high 
resilience electric microgrid for critical applications. The work plan 
comprises the following tasks:

1. System Architecture Design and Control
This task is focused on the planning of the microgrid architecture and 
designing its control methodology.

2. Implementation of a functional Microgrid
The objective of this task is to achieve a fully operational microgrid 
installation with distributed generation, an energy storage system, 
vehicle-to-grid integration and load controllers.

3. Microgrid Control Optimization
In this task control strategies will be developed to optimize the microgrid 
operation focusing on resiliency, economic and environmental impacts.

4. Microgrid Assessment under Critical and Disaster operation, and 
Experimental Validation
This task will be focused on testing the developed microgrid and control 
algorithms, namely during critical and disaster situations. Several types of 
faults will be simulated and the microgrid response will be analysed. The 
microgrid installations at DEEC-UC will be used to conduct preliminary 
tests.
