General Context
The intern will be part of the Cable and Junctions Department, in the cable engineering team, focusing on the development of transmission line models for Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) simulations. Within the research domain of high and medium voltage transmission grids, simulation tools such as EMTP® and Matlab/Simulink are utilized to simulate critical scenarios like faults and explore potential remedies. Transmission lines are pivotal components in the grid, and precise modelling is imperative. A preliminary version of the WideBand model has been initiated in the cable department. The proposed internship aims to enhance this model to encompass multiconductor/multicable systems. Additionally, the internship entails harmonizing the WideBand model, drafting a user guide for the models, and ensuring the model's functionality.
