Missions
General Context
SuperGrid Institute is working on the development of protection strategies for Multi Terminal DC (MTDC) networks as well as protection algorithms for fault line discrimination in order to develop a more efficient and reliable protection system.
In this context, several tools for analysing the performance of protection strategies have been proposed within the SuperGrid Institute. Through EMT simulations, techno-economic analysis and key performance indicators, it is possible to evaluate and propose optimised solutions to transmission network operators and HVDC equipment manufacturers.
Objectives / Missions
In collaboration with industrial and academic partners (Europe), you will carry out research activities, participate in working group meetings and be responsible for the deliverables.
You will participate in SuperGrid Institute's consultancy activities: analysing customer specifications, carrying out system studies, participating in customer technical meetings, monitoring the progress of projects, guaranteeing deadlines and quality of deliverables.
