Project description
This Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project aims to develop High-Voltage, Fault Managed Power Systems (HVFMPS) for use in commercial and domestic environments to reduce costs in installation and operation in comparison with conventional mains power systems. It is envisaged that such systems present a considerable financial return. It will deliver a highly efficient
DC power distribution system capable of powering device loads up to1500W in a cost-effective manner to allow buildings to be installed by any competent person. It is anticipated that DC Systems will replace AC systems as they are much more energy efficient when driving the electronic loads that are now prevalent in domestic/commercial applications.
As a KTP Associate you will also develop a broad set of skills in project management, stakeholder engagement, and involvement in the delivery of a strategic project in an innovative business. The skills developed during the project will enable you to broaden your future career opportunities.
