University:

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

Country:

Netherlands

Deadline:

2024-07-27

Fields:

Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, Energy Systems, Control Engineering, Computer EngineeringPhD Position in Wide Area Protection and Control ApplicationsThe Power System Protection Centre at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) invites applications for a PhD position focused on the development of optimization-based applications for dynamic system rating (DSR) in decentralized power systems. This project aims to enhance system security by ensuring thermal limits, voltage stability, and transient stability are met through real-time data and zonal autonomous control. The research will be conducted in collaboration with both academic and industrial partners and is supported by industry funding.

Key Responsibilities

– Develop optimization-based applications to determine dynamic system rating (DSR) among virtual zones in decentralized power systems.– Utilize real-time SCADA and PMU measurements to dynamically determine virtual zones and apply zonal autonomous control.– Test the developed applications using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) platforms with software such as RTDS and PSS/E.– Ensure the continuous operation of the application to maintain system security and provide optimal preventive and corrective actions.

Requirements

– MSc degree in Electrical Power Engineering or a closely related field.– Strong background in electrical power system operation, protection, and wide area monitoring applications.– Proficiency in programming and experience with EMT-based software tools and PSS/E.– Knowledge and experience with RTDS is highly beneficial.– Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and writing skills.– Proficiency in English, with a minimum TOEFL score of 100 or IELTS 7.0 per sub-skill (writing, reading, listening, speaking).Application Deadline: July 27, 2024 at 23:59 CET.
