About the scholarship
This project will develop initial design cases on adding DC facilities to the already existing 3 phase AC distribution line (400 V) facility at Victoria University of Wellington. The successful candidate will study the current system and develop case studies for converting the existing line to a DC facility. This will involve inclusion of inverters and possibly rectifiers, study DC characteristics of the existing line, inclusion of sensors and other protection (DC) and a report on recommendations.
Entry requirements
Must be a student enrolled in a relevant engineering or computer science program. Strong analytical skills and familiarity with electrical systems are preferred.
