Villeurbanne, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France SuperGrid Institute Temps plein

At SuperGrid Institute, we are seeking a highly skilled R&D engineer to join our team in the development of innovative high and medium voltage direct current (HVDC and MVDC) power systems. As a key player in the energy transition, our institute specializes in the integration of renewable energies into the electricity networks of the future.

The selected candidate will contribute to the modelling and control of MMC converters, allowing the simulation of complex MTDC grids and their different operating states. Skills on modelling of MMC converters for their integration on MTDC grids for simulation purposes are necessary to succeed in this challenging role.

The successful candidate will participate in European projects in which SuperGrid institute is involved, and may also be involved in other collaborative projects and in the meantime in grid consulting activities of the institute. The proposed work is structured around the following main topics:

Main Topics

HVDC/MTDC Grids Control and Protection

This subject addresses the development of MTDC grid controls, their stability analysis, as well as the identification of the different control modes aiming to manage the MTDC system different operating states.

The candidate will contribute to the modelling and control of MMC converters, allowing the simulation of complex MTDC grids and their different operating states. Skills on modelling of MMC converters for their integration on MTDC grids for simulation purposes are necessary to succeed in this challenging role.

AC/DC Stability Analysis of Power Network with Embedded HVDC/MTDC Grids

This second topic focusses on the modelling, stability analysis and control of HVAC/HVDC transmission grids with high integration of power electronics devices. In the presence of high share of renewable energy, the control strategies of the power converters will have high impact on the stability of the whole AC/DC system.

The candidate will participate in the modelling and analysis of the AC/DC power system and in the proposition of control solutions of the HVDC grids aiming to enhance the whole system stability. Skills on modelling, control and simulation in EMT/dynamic phasor as well as large/small signal stability analysis tools such as frequency-domain analysis and state space representation are necessary in this challenging role.

Requirements

The selected candidate will have a Master 2 or PhD degree, with an experience in the field of power grid modelling, simulation, and control. Focus on HVDC systems and/or wind farms will be appreciated.

Technical skills:

  • Power system engineering
  • Power network modelling and simulation tools
  • System stability analysis, small signal modelling and analysis
  • State space representation and frequency domain analysis
  • HVDC systems modelling, control, and stability
  • Wind farms/wind turbines modelling, operation, and control
  • Simulation tools: EMTP and/or PSCAD, Power factory and/or PSSE, Matlab/Simulink, Python

Soft skills:

  • Good command of English language
  • Teamwork
  • Good communication skills
  • Organizational skills

What we can offer:

  • You will be joining an institute dedicated to the energy transition, a promising and stimulating field of activity,
  • Company restaurant (participation in meal expenses),
  • A teleworking charter (1 day per week and 20 occasional days),
  • Activities between colleagues within the company (football, running, choir, etc.),
  • CSE, health insurance, life and disability insurance,
  • Profit-sharing bonus,
  • 5 weeks paid holiday and 12 additional day's rest,
  • Self-service bicycles.
