PhD Scholarship in Solar Radiation and Energy, Canberra, Australia

PhD Scholarship in Solar Radiation and Energy (Canberra, Australia)

An excellent PhD opportunity is available for a joint project with the Weather
and Energy Research Unit at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University in the area of Solar Radiation and Energy. The appointed PhD student will develop a solar radiation and energy forecasting system aimed at improving the way in which solar energy produced by a selection of energy devices is integrated into the electricity grid. Such a system may eventually be implemented operationally by bodies such as the Australian Energy Market Operator and/or solar power farms operators.
