Offer Description

The electric power industry is under pressure to phase out conventional power plants, especially coal, and increase the share of renewables in their energy mix. This trend changes the traditional power system behavior and ways of power system control. With a larger share of renewables, the overall system inertia has decreased. However, the industry has to learn how to operate synchronous generators in a system with a larger share of solar and wind that does not utilize SGs with large inertia.

The candidate is expected to cooperate in development of new power system operation strategies or control strategies using most up to date technologies. We are looking for experience in:

• Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices
• Artificial stability
• Smart Flexibility Systems (e.g. H2flex)
• Wide Area Systems (WAMS,WACS,WAPS etc.)

It is preferred to continue with previous candidate research topic. The research will be supported by experienced group of researchers with close link to the power industry.
