Higher Voltage Aerospace Systems - As aircraft are using more and more electrical power, it is desirable that voltages increase to minimise the weight involved with the use of high current conductors. Work is underway to examine the design and long term reliability of various forms of electrical distribution systems and components in an aerospace environment. Current projects are examing the methods of testing aerospace systems, examining surface discharge in the aerospace environment, examining high temperature insulation systems for use within the aircraft environment and considering the optimal voltage for power transmission.Higher VoltagePower Electronics - The increasing use of power electronics in systems as diverse as marine, rail, aerospace and power systems themselves means that the voltages of power electronic modules is continually increasing. Work is taking place to improve the dielectric performance of power electronic modules. Much of this work takes place through the IeMRC Flagship Project in Power Electronics.Power System Transients - These have a fundamental impact on the way in which the power system is designed and operated. Studies are examining the ability to minimise substation size through careful control of transients and the effect of power system transients on parallel structures such as pipelines.Power System Plant - Current projects include an examination of the feasibility of using composite crossarms on overhead line towers to reduce visual impact and increase reliability. We are also looking at means of reducing SF6 usage within the transmission system.Lightning Protection of Wind Turbines - The subject of my PhD (many years ago), we continue to actively seek ways to improve the lightning protectionperformance of a wind turbine.

I do occasionally have funded opportunities but these are often given to members of our MSc courses.

BiographyI'm a Lecturer in Sustainable Energy Systems and part of the Electrical Energy and Power Systems (EEPS) group in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I got my MSc (2002) and PhD (2006) degrees in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems) from the Politecnico di Torino, in Italy. However, I'm originally from Salento, the tip of the heel of the Italian "boot". During my PhD I was also a visiting student at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway. After getting my PhD, I worked as a Research Fellow for one year and half in Torino, and then I moved to Imperial College London where I was a Research Associate from January 2008 to April 2011. I'm author of two books, four book chapters and more than 60 research papers in top-class peer-reviewed international journals and conferences.

Research interestsModelling and analysis of integrated energy systems (electricity/heat/gas) and distributed multi-generation (cogeneration, trigeneration);Impact of electro-thermal technologies (cogeneration, heat pumps, storage) on distribution networks;System level analysis of the electricity and heat sectors;System integration of distributed energy resources and sustainable development of energy systems;Energy and energy-related markets;Risk analysis of generation and network investment.

Postgraduate opportunitiesI'm always looking for enthusiastic people and perspective students who are willing to engage with new research challenges and who share my same interests.Also, I'm very open to cross-collaborations with other disciplines, particularly economics/finance and thermal disciplines.In particular, I currently welcome PhD applications in:economics of future networksprovision of network security through flexible demanddesign of multi-energy (electricity/heat/gas) networkspower system operation with distributed energy resources and storage

biography

My work is about understandingageing of electrical insulation. I am particularly active developing models for high voltage insulation surfaces, and models for asset management, and work closely with a number of utilities. PresentlyI manage the EPSRC 'Networks Top and Tail' Grand Challenge collaborative project in which 8 Universities are engaged. I have a number of National Grid funded projects, mainly associated with insulation systems.I joined Manchester University in 2003but startedmy career in industrial Research and Development on materials and reliability assessment.I progressed through the management of R&D and moved into manufacturing and general managementbefore joining academia. Iwas promoted to Professor in 2009.I am currently President of the IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society.
