DC Research Center
Responsibilities:
1. Research DC-system architecture construction, planning/design and economic evaluation.
2. Conduct modeling and simulation of DC systems, specifically building system models in PSCAD/MATLAB for steady-state, dynamic and transient simulation analysis.
3. Conduct DC-system stability analysis, control-strategy design and optimization, fault analysis and protection-scheme design.
4. Support main-circuit design, electrical-parameter design and system simulation analysis of equipment including HCC, DC circuit breakers, DC transformers, MMC, MDC, converters (pumped-storage, wind-power, industrial and energy-storage converters), current-source power supplies (de-icing and hydrogen-production power supplies) and DC energy-dissipation devices.
5. Be responsible for implementing system-related research projects.
Requirements / Qualifications:
1. PhD in Electrical Engineering, Automation or a related field.
2. Familiarity with system-simulation software such as PSCAD and MATLAB is preferred.
3. Industry R&D experience in DC-system architecture, planning/design or economic evaluation is preferred.
4. Team-oriented, conscientious and responsible, with strong problem-solving and communication skills.
