  • Develop and implement power system models in software, either PowerFactory or PSS/E.
  • Add models of new wind and nuclear plants, as well as batteries with their control, to the model.
  • Analyze how different types of plants affect power system dynamics when subjected to disturbances such as loss of large production plants, short-circuits, and voltage dips.
  • Write a report summarizing your findings and conclusions.
Qualifications and Requirements

To be successful in this role, you should have a master's degree in Electric Power Engineering or a related field. You should also have experience working with software like PowerFactory, PSS/E, or similar simulator software.
