PhD Sustainable Energy Technologies
Our research expertise in Renewable Energy Technologies specializes in areas including renewable energy, smart grids, novel wind energy harvest technologies, energy storage systems, energy-saving systems and nanomaterials, fuel cells, energy-efficient buildings, phase change materials (PCM), piezoelectric and thermoelectric energy harvesting systems, engine emission control, development of optically accessible and race engines; conventional and advanced engine instrumentation, thermofluid modeling/simulation and experimental study for energy & flow physics.
In addition, our research extends to power management of distributed energy systems and dynamic scheduling, optimization and control of future smart grids, advanced power electronics and Control for microgrids, energy storage systems including coordinated and optimized integration into the power grid, smart meter data analytics using machine learning techniques for efficient energy management, the impact of electric vehicles on the distribution grid and smart charging, and dynamic wireless charging of electric vehicles for optimisation and infrastructure management.
Campus Information
College Lane Campus
The main site of the university remains the College Lane campus, which houses the original Hatfield Technical College building. Notable among the buildings in this campus is the university's Learning Resource Centre, a combined library and computer centre. There is also a substantial collection of halls of residence and student houses, and the University of Hertfordshire Students' Union is headquartered at College Lane campus. The College Lane campus is also the location of Hertfordshire International College, which is part of the Navitas group, providing a direct pathway for international students to the University.
