Simulation Engineer - C&P of HVDC grids M/W

Within the "Supergrid Architecture & Systems" department, the HVDC C&P (HVDC Control & Protection) group is responsible for defining control and protection strategies for MTDC (Multi-Terminal DC) networks, for the preliminary design of DC grid equipment, and for verifying compliance with AC grid connection requirements.

In this context, several tools for analyzing the performance of control and protection strategies have been developed at SuperGrid Institute. Using EMT (Electro-Magnetic Transients) simulations and key performance indicators, it is possible to assess and propose optimized solutions to transmission system operators and HVDC equipment manufacturers.
