Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026 – NIT Durgapur

Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026 – NIT Durgapur

The National Institute of Technology Durgapur (NIT Durgapur) invites applications for the position of Project Associate-I in the Department of Electrical Engineering under an Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) sponsored collaborative R&D project. The research focuses on electric vehicle charging infrastructure, distribution grids, power quality, and smart energy management.

Position Overview

About the Project

The project titled “Grid Readiness for Electrical Vehicle (EV): Enablers and Technological Developments (GREET)” aims to assess the impact of large-scale electric vehicle charging infrastructure on distribution grids.

The research will focus on power quality, grid operation, protection, renewable energy integration, and the development of intelligent planning and control solutions for EV charging infrastructure.

Key Research Areas

The project will involve research and development related to:

• Large-scale EV charging infrastructure

• Distribution grid operation and protection

• Optimal planning of EV charging and battery swapping stations

• Transport patterns, grid constraints, and climate variability

• Optimal scheduling of EV charging and discharging

• Ancillary services for the power grid

• Advanced power converter control schemes

• Power factor control and power-quality improvement

• Grid standards and system stability

• Battery-life enhancement

• Renewable energy integration

• Development of software, packages, and mobile applications

Project Objectives

The project aims to develop optimal planning models for EV charging and battery swapping stations by integrating transport patterns, grid constraints, and climate variability.

It will also develop algorithms for optimal EV charging/discharging schedules to provide ancillary services and advanced power-converter control strategies to address power-quality issues associated with high penetration of EV charging loads.

The expected outcomes include improved coordinated planning, smoother grid operations, efficient renewable-energy integration, and more resilient EV adoption.

Funding & Collaboration

The project is sponsored by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) and is being undertaken as a Collaborative R&D Project with IIT Kanpur as the Lead Institute.
