You are expected to carry out high-quality research at the intersection of renewable-energy technologies, power systems, power electronics, and control systems, both from a theoretical/analytical point of view and through experimental/laboratory work. You will develop frequency-domain and (EMT) time-domain models for converter-rich power plants, considering different grid-forming/-following/-supporting control approaches (including hybrid-control converter schemes). You will also assess the performance and capabilities of such power plants in complying with grid code requirements (present and future) and providing grid services (such as blackstart). Moreover, you will assess the stability of such power plants in tomorrow’s systems using frequency-domain criteria and will explore possible methods for tuning the controls to ensure stability
Requirements:
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent). The degree should be in the field of electrical engineering, control engineering, power electronics, or similar. You must have documented experience with: Modelling, control, and simulation of converter-interfaced renewable-energy resources; Stability assessment of converter-based power systems using frequency-domain criteria; Power system dynamics; Programming languages and software tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, PSCAD, etc
