The intern will work with EPRI staff to conduct power system studies focusing on voltage stability analysis for transmission systems with high levels of renewable energy integration. Responsibilities include developing analytical models, applying advanced techniques to evaluate system stability, and identifying strategies to enhance system strength. The role involves performing simulations using tools such as PSS®E and PSLF to validate analytical findings and assess control performance. Additionally, the intern will contribute to disseminating results by assisting in the preparation of technical reports and peer-reviewed publications.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
Familiarity with simulation tools such as PSS®E, PSLF, or similar platforms.
Experience developing and running ACPF and ACOPF simulations.
Completed coursework in power systems analysis, stability, and control is preferred.
Familiar with voltage stability concepts, transfer capability, and contingency analysis.
Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python) for automating analyses.
Knowledge of NERC reliability standards and criteria.
Exposure to renewable energy systems and inverter-based resources.
Enthusiasm for learning and applying cutting-edge technologies in power systems.
