Project: Improving Energy Performance of Buildings using Distributed Communication and Advanced Control
The objective of this project is to investigate how the application of wireless sensor network-based energy monitoring, data management and optimal distributed control technology, can improve the energy performance of buildings and how the increased awareness of energy consumption can lead to savings through shifts in usage behaviour. The main outcome of this research will be the specification, analysis and implementation of efficient energy consumption modelling and
optimisation algorithms for effective monitoring and control of (electrical) energy in buildings.
Profile of a Candidate: A suitable graduate for this project is expected to have a good honours degree in electronic, computer engineering or equivalent at upper second class or first class level. Knowledge of control systems design and in particular optimisation theory and algorithms is essential. Experience with computer
programming in C/C+ is also essential. Knowledge of wireless communications and in particular wireless sensor networks would be a distinct advantage.
Scholarship Details: A successful candidate will be registered for a Masters degree by research and paid a grant of €15,000 per annum for up to 24 months.
