Project Title:
`Preventing Wide-area Blackouts Through Adaptive Islanding of Transmission Networks`

Description:
Commercial pressures towards better utilisation of power networks and increased penetration of distributed generation are likely to reduce power system security margins leading to a higher probability of blackouts. This project will investigate an idea of preventing an imminent wide-area blackout by intentional splitting of a system into islands with as best as possible generation/demand balance. Such splitting will reduce the total amount of load that would have been lost otherwise, and will make restoring the supply easier.

This interdisciplinary engineering- mathematical project will gather power system engineers from Durham University, Operational Research and Optimization experts from The University of Edinburgh, and graph theoreticians from the University of Southampton. The project is funded by Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) and is supported by the National Grid and Psymetrix Ltd.

CyprusAid Scholarships Scheme

As from 1994 the Government of the Republic of Cyprus has launched the Technical and Development Assistance Scheme, within the framework of which the Cyprus Government provides each year a number of scholarships of short and long duration for participation in educational courses organized by Academic Institutions in Cyprus, as part of its Official Development Assistance (ODA) strategy. All the scholarships are provided officially on a bilateral basis (from Government to Government) and are announced through the diplomatic channels.
