Imperial College London (ICL) is a public research university in London, Imperial focuses exclusively on science, technology, medicine, and business. The main campus is located in South Kensington, and there is an innovation campus in White City. Facilities also include teaching hospitals throughout London, and with Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust together form an academic health science centre. Imperial joined the University of London in 1908, becoming an independent university in 2007. Imperial has a highly international community, with 59% of students from outside the UK and 140 countries represented on campus. ICL topped in Research Excellence Framework (2021) in amongst all UK Russel group universities in quality, impact, and environment.

Key research facilities, infrastructure and equipment
The Host offers excellent facilities and infrastructure to carry out this project. Below are some highlights related to the project:
- The state-of-the-art Research Computing Service (RCS) at Imperial will offer access to its supercomputing clusters. The researcher will avail this facility to carry out intense training and testing of the voltage control and optimisation. There is Hitachi digital energy integration laboratory Energy Futures Lab. Energy Data Science Institute (DSI) at Imperial will offer data observatory lab for high-fidelity data visualization and multi-dimensional presentation.
- The CAP laboratory is a modern power engineering laboratory equipped with high-end workstations and cloud services, real-time simulators (OPAL-RT and RTDS). Researchers will be provided with a high-performance working station and the software licenses such as MATLAB.
- Researcher will be given a campus account to access online databases, including IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect and Scopus, as well as books in physical and online library.
- The Graduate Students Professional development centre at Imperial offers bespoke program of support and development opportunities. Researcher will undertake training courses and workshops for future career development.
