Electrical Power Engineering Expert Needed to Suggest Strong Graduation Project Ideas

We are a team of Electrical Power Engineering students looking for an experienced engineer or academic expert to help us identify and evaluate a strong graduation project idea.

We are mainly interested in projects related to:
Power Systems, Protection, Power Quality, Distribution Systems, Motor Drives, Fault Detection, Automation, Grid Reliability, and Smart Power Systems.

The project should:

* Solve a real and relevant electrical power problem
* Include a practical physical prototype
* Include a meaningful simulation using tools such as ETAP, MATLAB/Simulink, PSCAD, or similar
* Be feasible for a student team within approximately 4–6 months
* Have reasonable hardware cost
* Be technically strong and suitable for a final-year graduation project
* Preferably improve an existing solution rather than simply repeat a common project

We are especially interested in ideas that combine multiple Electrical Power Engineering subjects and have clear industrial relevance.

What we need from the expert:

1. Suggest 3–5 strong project ideas
2. Explain the real problem each idea solves
3. Explain the proposed prototype
4. Explain the required simulation
5. List the main hardware/components
6. Estimate difficulty, cost, and implementation risk
7. Compare the ideas and recommend the best one

Please share your experience in Electrical Power Engineering and any graduation projects, research projects, or industrial projects you have previously supervised or developed.

We are looking for technical consultation and idea development, preferably as a fixed-price task rather than hourly consultation.
