Position Overview

Description

The Grid Automation and Control (GAC) Group of the Power Systems and Engineering Center (PSEC) at NLR is looking for an exceptional Ph.D. graduate to support research in the modelingΒ and simulation of the modern power grids, while the power gridΒ is transitioning to a grid with increasing growth of load and inverter-based resources(IBRs).

The successful candidate will be working on cutting-edge projects in power system modeling, simulation, and stability analysis. The successful candidate is expected to bring in solid large-scale bulk power system modeling and simulation expertise to address the stability, reliability challenges of the future grid.

Job duties and responsibilities include:

  • Conduct transient analysis (small-signal, transient, and voltage stability) for high IBR-dominated systems.
  • Support large-scale power system studies (e.g., national-scale scenarios) using commercial tools (e.g., PSSE, PSLF, PSCAD) or open...
