  The Power Electronics Group within the Department of Electrical Engineering has a vacancy for a Postdoc researcher (fully funded, 2 years) to work in the European Partnership on Metrology joint research project MetSuperCap – “Metrology for static and dynamic characterisation of supercapacitors”. The MetSuperCap project aims to establish a traceable and sound measurement and characterisation framework for both supercapacitors and supercapacitor banks.
  Supercapacitors (SCs) are an environmentally friendly technology and are being used across an increasing number of fields, including a replacement for batteries in high power density applications. The behaviour of SCs differs from both rechargeable batteries and electrostatic capacitors, and accurate knowledge of this behaviour is needed to support the growing application of SCs and SCs banks. In strong collaboration with industry and national metrology institutes, our group aims to develop measurement techniques and models that promote the uptake of SCs in industrial and energy applications.
  As a Postdoctoral fellow, you will develop traceable and accurate measurement techniques complemented by adequate SC equivalent electrical models to evaluate the State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH) of SCs and SC banks, both under laboratory and dynamic operating conditions. Our unique, high-end laboratory infrastructure will ensure state-of-the-art results can be achieved, allowing for high-quality publications in the field.
