The candidate would:

• Develop methods and software tools for a variety of synchrophasor-based applications for real-time system operations such as oscillations management and inertia estimation
• Conduct modeling and simulation studies of large-scale power systems with inverter-based resources and loads. Simulations and modeling are expected to be conducted using electromechanical dynamics simulation tools (e.g. PSS/E) and electromagnetic transients simulation tools (e.g. PSCAD)
• Support processing of field recorded measurement data and event/disturbance analysis
• Conduct literature and industry review for state-of-the-art and emerging technologies and corresponding use cases of wide area grid monitoring, protection and control applications
• Support with use of real-time simulators and hardware-in-the-loop implementations and experiments
• Prepare technical reports, presentations, and other documentation for clients and stakeholders
• Support proposal development and business development initiatives as needed

Ideal Candidate:

• Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering with focus on power systems
• Expertise in power system dynamics, stability and control
• Expertise with synchrophasor technology and applications
• Expertise with electromechanical dynamics simulation tools (preferably PSS/E)
• Experience with electromagnetic transients simulation tools (preferably PSCAD)
• Experience with modeling of inverter-based resources
• Experience with real-time simulator and hardware-in-the-loop technologies
• Strong technical writing and communication skills
