The Graduate Intern position at NREL focuses on dynamic modeling of power systems, particularly in the context of integrating inverter-based resources (IBRs). The intern will engage in research and development activities, collaborating with experienced researchers to design and develop EMT models that investigate grid stability. This role offers hands-on experience with advanced computing resources and the opportunity to contribute to publications in the field.

  • Design, develop and use EMT models to investigate grid stability in high-IBR scenarios.
  • Use commercial software such as PSCAD and/or NREL's open-source software, ParaEMT.
  • Develop advanced applications of ParaEMT including hybrid simulations and advanced IBR models.
  • Contribute to, and potentially lead, publications related to EMT modeling of high-IBR power systems.
  • Minimum of a 3.0 cumulative grade point average.
  • Undergraduate: Must be enrolled as a full-time student in a bachelor's degree program from an accredited institution.
  • Post Undergraduate: Earned a bachelor's degree within the past 12 months.
  • Graduate: Must be enrolled as a full-time student in a master's degree program from an accredited institution.
  • Post Graduate: Earned a master's degree within the past 12 months.
  • Graduate + PhD: Completed master's degree and enrolled as PhD student from an accredited institution.
  • Relevant Ph.D. or Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science or related fields.
  • Advanced expertise in various power systems modeling.
  • Proficiency in power system modeling, simulation, and analysis.
  • Familiar with EMT simulation algorithms, such as nodal formulation and interface between generator and network.
  • Experience with computer programming or software development, and Python is required.
  • Strong expertise in power systems modeling, simulation and analysis of large-scale power grids.
  • Familiarity with modeling synchronous generators, loads, and GFL/GFM IBRs.
  • Solid experience with Python programming.
  • Experience with two or more power system simulation tools (e.g., PSS/E, Powerworld, PSLF, PSCAD, RSCAD/RTDS, MATLAB/Simulink, PSAT and others).
  • Software development experience is a plus.
  • Excellent writing and verbal communication skills.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 403(b) Employee Savings Plan with employer match.
  • Sick leave (where required by law).
  • Potential eligibility for performance-, merit-, and achievement-based awards.
