General Context

The intern will join the architecture and systems research department where ElectroMagnetic Transient (EMT) simulation constitutes an important part of our research studies. In the research field of high voltage transmission grid, simulation tools, like EMTP-RV®, are used to simulate critical situations, such as faults, and investigate possible solutions. These studies require a high number of simulations, hence high computing times. At the research department of architecture and systems, some algorithms were developed to launch a batch of simulations and to ease the analysis of the obtained results. In the proposed internship, we would like to gather all these algorithms in a single one which is able to cover and anticipate different needs of engineers regarding simulation automation (simple batch and embedded parameters modification decision for the next simulation, based on the previous simulation results) and results post-processing. The proposed tool must be flexible enough to evolve in the future and must be coded in a license-free language (Python for example). We would like to obtain a user-friendly tool, with the appropriate documentation and tutorials.
