Researcher - Power System and Grid Interconnection

Huawei Canada has an immediate 12-month contract opening for a Researcher.

About the team:

The Smart Grid Technology Lab focuses on research in real-time simulation technologies, microgrid energy management, control systems, and other smart grid technologies. We apply cutting-edge technologies to the digital power industry. The lab has developed into a research organization with significant achievements and a strong impact in the industry.

About the job:

• Developing grid integration technologies for grid-forming and grid-following inverters and converters.
• Work under a supervisor with a team of experts to develop a set of power system and control component models for power system EMT simulation.
• Implementing different grid-forming control strategies, such as droop or VSG, improving them, and implementing.

different protection strategies for IBRs, such as anti-islanding protection.

• Developing protection and control algorithms in C/C++ and Python, and converting the developed algorithms in C/C++ and Python to DLL or .EXE files.
• Simulating microgrids in EMTP, PLECS, and/or Simulink.
• Generating C/C++ code of the simulated model and optimizing it for real-time simulation.
• Deploying different communication protocols, such as SV, GOOSE, MBUS, and IOT protocols.
• Working with the PLC controller to host the developed algorithm.
