The Sheffield Solar research group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy currently have a research contract with National Grid to calculate national and regional photovoltaic power flows on the electricity transmission network – to “nowcast” PV power flows. These calculations will be used to assist in electricity demand forecasting and to allow for more renewable generation on the network. We also host a national database of PV generation from different installations across the UK. Please have a look at these services on our website: http://www.solar.sheffield.ac.uk/pvlive/ We are looking to hire a part time placement student to assist in the development of the PV nowcasting platform and service and in particular to undertake data processing and analysis tasks. This will involve the checking, uploading, visualisation and interpretation of a variety of data sources relevant to the work. Different software packages will be used and training in these will be given. The work is fl

The graduate product development physicist role involves cutting to the core of technical and non-technical issues, discerning what they mean for the project and the company, and then creating something new from that insight. The Medical Devices Group’s business is based on robust solutions; neither rigorous yet inapplicable analysis nor unreliable pragmatism will do. A graduate product development physicist considers problems as they really are and applies technical insight and experience to identify what matters, enabling decision making and guiding design. Expertise in mechanics, thermodynamics, and mechanical and thermal properties of materials are frequently used, as well as an ability to develop experimental or theoretical models of complex processes which strike the right balance between efficiency and fidelity for the purpose and stage of development which they support. TTP’s culture gives wide freedom to think and act, but also requires and expects it to be used. In this env
