Various energy storage systems have been used to fill in supply gaps and demand response to load shifting in electricity. With technological progress in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a battery energy storage system (BESS) has been recently introduced as an economic solution in this market. Despite its numerous advantages, the lithium-ion battery also has a major drawback in fire safety.
In collaboration with international partners in industry and Korean national laboratories, this project intends to carry out a joint experimental and numerical study of full-scale fires in BESS.
Applicants should hold, or expect to obtain, a First or Upper Second Class Honours Degree in a subject relevant to the proposed area of study.
We may also consider applications from those who hold equivalent qualifications, for example, a Lower Second Class Honours Degree plus a Master’s Degree with Distinction.
In exceptional circumstances, the University may consider a portfolio of evidence from applicants who have appropriate professional experience which is equivalent to the learning outcomes of an Honours degree in lieu of academic qualifications.
