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

Established in 2014, SuperGrid Institute is a leading private company with over 150 employees from diverse backgrounds. As a key player in the energy transition, we specialise in innovative high and medium voltage direct current (HVDC and MVDC) power systems.

We are committed to developing new technologies for integrating renewable energies into future electricity networks.

Our institute has consistently ranked among the top performers in the INPI prize list since 2018.

The dynamics of future power systems will be significantly influenced by their interfaces – power electronics converters, which are control-dependent and complex compared to traditional synchronous machines.

Many grid instability accidents have been reported due to converter control interactions.

To address this issue, impedance-based stability modelling has been proposed as an efficient method to gain insights into such control interactions and propose mitigation methods.

To carry out such modelling, frequency scanning tools are crucial for properly characterizing the impedance profile of power converters.

This internship focuses on developing such tools in EMT simulators.

Mission Objectives

Key Mission Objectives:

  • Gain a thorough understanding of general impedance-based modeling theory of AC-DC converters.
  • Gain a solid understanding of analytical impedance calculations of AC-DC converters.
  • Develop scanning tools in EMT simulators for both AC and DC side scanning.
  • Compare the scanned impedance of different converter controls and evaluate potential interaction risks.
Candidate Profile

Ideal Candidate:

A Master's or Engineering student in their 4th or 5th year with a strong background in power electronics and control systems.

Familiarity with EMT simulations and tools like EMTP-RV or PSCAD is required.

Knowledge of impedance-based stability analysis is preferred but not mandatory.

A good command of English is essential for communication and collaboration.

Benefits and Perks

We offer a competitive salary of €40,000 per annum.

As a valued member of our team, you will enjoy various benefits, including:

  • Meal expenses covered through our company restaurant.
  • Participation in employee-led activities, such as sports teams and choir.
  • CSE access for professional development.
  • Electrical accreditation costs covered.
