PhD Scholarship in Solar Radiation and Energy, 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.

This work will involve analysing solar radiation output from Numerical Weather Prediction models by comparing it with historical observations in order to improve our understanding of the physical processes relevant to solar radiation. The forecasting system will then capitalize on this detailed analysis. Other areas of weather and climate science will benefit from this solar radiation analysis.

Key Capabilities

- An understanding of meteorology, especially of solar radiation processes, and effects of clouds and aerosols.
- Familiarity with at least one software language for data analysis (possibly R)
High level interpersonal skills suited to effective interaction with other members of the research team and industry contacts.
- Demonstrated high level of communication skills.
- Active support of the CSIRO code of conduct and HSE requirements.

Key Result Areas/Duties

- Analyse solar radiation data from observations (in situ and satellite) and model output for Australia with a possible extension to a wider region using a standard software program (e.g. R, IDL, Matlab).
- Investigate and improve our knowledge of solar radiation forecasts provided by Numerical Weather Prediction models.
- Investigate and improve our knowledge of the interaction between solar radiation and solar energy production for a selection of energy devices.
- Develop a solar energy forecasting system using a combination of Numerical Weather Prediction model output and historical data for a selection of energy devices.
Write and submit research papers, and a Ph.D. thesis

Applications

Scholarship applications close 30th November 2010, but the search may remain open until the position is filled. The selected PhD student will be awarded a research support budget of up to AUD 24,000 per annum.
“Applicants should submit a brief statement of practical and academic suitability for the proposed research topic, a current curriculum vitae, academic transcripts and contact details for two referees.”

For enquiries on the scholarship please contact: Dr Alberto Troccoli on +61 2 6246 5759 (alberto.troccoli[at]csiro.au)

For enquiries on admission to the Fenner School please contact: Dr Janette Lindesay (janette.lindesay[at]anu.edu.au) or Dr Frank Mills (frank.mills[at]anu.edu.au)

“The Leadership Program offers participants valuable insights into each country’s cultures of teaching, learning and research.

“The funding will allow the program to continue as a foundation for academic and research collaboration and ongoing staff and student exchanges, providing benefit to both nation’s education and research sectors.”

Senator Evans said the highly successful exchange program has given more than 100 university leaders the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of leading practice in each other’s higher education system.

One of the alumni of the program is the Chinese Vice Minister for Education, Hao Ping.

Earlier this year UA and CEAIE agreed to a program for 2011 for eight Australian and 16 Chinese universities.

The Government funding will support the doubling of the number of participating Australian universities to 16 for 2011 and 2013, and will help to enrich the experience for Chinese participants.

“This program is a flagship initiative of the longstanding relationship between the organizations, helping to build strong person-to-person links with our Chinese counterparts,” Senator Evans said.
