About the job:
Developing grid integration technologies for grid-forming and grid-following inverters and converters.
Work under a supervisor with a team of experts to develop a set of power system and control component models for power system EMT simulation.
Implementing different grid-forming control strategies, such as droop or VSG, improving them, and implementing.
different protection strategies for IBRs, such as anti-islanding protection.
Developing protection and control algorithms in C/C++ and Python, and converting the developed algorithms in C/C++ and Python to DLL or .EXE files.
Simulating microgrids in EMTP, PLECS, and/or Simulink.
Generating C/C++ code of the simulated model and optimizing it for real-time simulation.
Deploying different communication protocols, such as SV, GOOSE, MBUS, and IOT protocols.
Working with the PLC controller to host the developed algorithm.
About the ideal candidate:
Ph.D. or Ph.D. students in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with a strong publication record.
Proficiency with circuit design and simulation tools (e.g., EMTP, PSCAD, etc.).
Strong knowledge of microgrids/IBRs and related standards, and a strong understanding of the protection of IBRs and their dynamics.
Fluent in C/C++ and Python. FPGA and/or PLC programming is an asset.
Familiar with machine learning and deep learning techniques, such as SVM and CNN.
Familiar with communication protocols, such as IEC61850 (SV, Goose, MMS), MODBUS, etc., and generating .dll and .exe files and working with them.
