TWO AUSTRALIAN POSTGRADUATE INDUSTRY AWARDS (PhD SCHOLARSHIPS)
ON
RENEWABLE AND DISTRIBUTED POWER GENERATION
(ARC LINKAGE PROJECT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG )

Two Australian Postgraduate Industry Awards (APAIs), each worth $26,669
per annum (tax free) for three-years, are available for postgraduate
research towards the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Successful
applicants will conduct research to contribute to infrastructure
development for integration of renewable and distributed power
generation into electricity grid systems. One APAI will conduct research
on power quality aspects related to the integration of renewable and
distributed power generation, and the other will carry out research on
network control and protection issues associated with the integration of
renewable and distributed energy resources. Candidates with
undergraduate honours (Class I or II(1)) or Masters degrees by research
in electrical engineering with power engineering major are invited to
express their interest in applying for these awards.

For all positions, interested candidates should send supporting
documentation including a CV and referee reports to the following address:
