Villeurbanne, France SuperGrid Institute Temps plein

SuperGrid Institute regroupe 180 employés de 28 nationalités différentes dans un environnement dynamique situé à Lyon. En tant que centre de recherche et d'innovation indépendant, nous sommes spécialisés dans le développement des technologies pour le futur réseau de transport d'énergie, le « supergrid », y compris les technologies HVDC et MVDC.

Centre de recherche multidisciplinaire avec des capacités de simulation avancées et de multiples plateformes de test, dont de nombreux laboratoires associés, SuperGrid Institute utilise son expertise pour fournir un large éventail de services et de solutions pour aider ses clients à développer des systèmes électriques, leurs équipements et leurs composants.

SuperGrid Institute Architecture and System program carries out research and development on future power transmission systems based on a combination of AC and DC transmission technologies. More specifically, the research is focused on multi-terminals HVDC grid for off-shore or continental transmission. Automation, protection and control strategies are major technical challenges that have to be addressed in order to envisage the evolution of existing HVDC systems into more complex highly meshed multi-terminal HVDC grids.

Architecture and System program comprises four sub-programs: super grid architecture principles study and optimization, super grid protection strategies, super grid control strategies, super grid simulation platform development.

A dedicated real-time simulation laboratory has been created by the latter subprogram to support the research activities of the other teams. Indeed, for the elaborated automation, protection and control strategies to reach a sufficient technological readiness level, the algorithms can be embedded into industrial hardware and connected to a virtual network simulated in real-time in a so-called hardware-in-the-loop setup (HIL).

The engineering of the automation, protection and control devices for the multi terminal DC grid relies on the implementation of state of the art communication and telecommunication techniques (IEC61850, IEEE C37.118, ).

Future Multi-Terminal DC grids will be coordinated by a fundamental control brick called DC Grid control. SuperGrid Institute is becoming a provider of such DC Grid control. Simulation group have in charge to implement and test in HIL simulation the DC Control functions.

The developed competences and the real-time simulation facilities are used not only to support the internal research roadmap and to carry out collaborative research projects with other organizations, but also to provide services for potential customers in the field of power systems such as HVDC grids or offshore wind farms.

We recruit a research engineer to manage the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test platform through technical improvement, business development and operational activities.

Objectives / Missions
- To participate to the technical improvement of the real-time simulation laboratory, especially concerning the rapid prototyping and the HIL testing of industrial relays and controllers
- To develop and validate DC Grid controls
- To develop and maintain a control room / SCADA interface for demonstration purposes
- To coordinate internal and external activities to implement the specified HIL setups
- To interact with customers from the pre-sale phase to the delivery
- When appropriate, to participate to the structuration of the technical and commercial offer
- To organize demonstration visits, to publish technical papers, to participate to conferences and events
- Background: Engineer or PhD (preferably Electrical engineering)
- Experience: 0 to 3 years in modelling and simulation of power systems. New graduates are welcome.
- Technical skills:

- Power system modelling and simulation
- Power electronics and controls
- Computer science and IT
- Communication for electrical substation automation (IEC61850)
- Power system engineering
- Other skills:

- Good command of English language
- Team work
- Good communication skills
- Organizational skills
