**Job Description**
The successful candidate will support research in the modeling and simulation of modern power grids, focusing on the stability and reliability challenges as the grid transitions with increasing inverter-based resources (IBRs). This role involves working on cutting-edge projects in power system modeling, simulation, and stability analysis, bringing expertise in large-scale bulk power system modeling to address future grid challenges.
**Skills & Abilities**
• Strong understanding of small-signal, transient, and voltage stability.
• Hands-on experience developing user-defined dynamic models of IBRs in PSS/E or PSLF.
• Familiarity with modeling of energy storage systems, including pumped-storage hydro and batteries.
• Experience in modeling and simulation of inverter-based resources (IBRs) and stability analysis of high-IBR-dominated power systems.
• Experience with data center modeling.
• Hands-on experience with new IBR models (e.g., WECC REGFMA1, REGFMB1, vendor-provided models).
• Experience with software development in Python, C++, or other programming languages.
• Hands-on experience developing automated tools for accelerating contingency analysis.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to process, interpret, and present technical results clearly.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Electrical Engineering
• Computer Science
• Related fields
**Experience**
Other:
• Must be a recent Ph.D. graduate within the last three years.
• Must meet educational requirements prior to employment start date.
• Solid background in power systems dynamics and modeling including load flow, short-circuit, and contingency analysis.
• Proficiency with power system simulation tools in Phasor-domain (e.g., PSSE, PSLF, Powerworld, etc, PSCAD or EMTP experience is a plus).
• Strong understanding of inverter-based resource (IBR) integration challenges, and power system stability concepts.
