We are seeking a talented and motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to join the `Energy and Power Research Group' for a 6-month appointment on the `SATPaSS' project; 'Suitability Assessment of Type Testing Procedures against SF6 -Free Switchgear'. This project is conducted in partnership with `National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET)', funded under the `Network Innovation Allowance (NIA)', and aims to assess the implications of switching arcs on the operation and maintenance of SF6-free switchgear assets, particularly those using C4-FN gas mixtures.
The PDRA will contribute mainly to `Work Package 3 (WP3)', which focuses on:
- Investigating partial discharge (PD) activity before and after arcing using a simplified arcing device.
- Proposing methods for online monitoring of active gas species.
- Assessing risks posed by gas mixture composition changes and by-products to switchgear components.
If you are still awaiting your PhD to be awarded you will be appointed at Grade 6, spine point 30. Upon written confirmation that you have been awarded your PhD, your salary will be increased to Grade 7, spine point 31.
