Power Systems - Advanced Applications for Smart Grids

Work description

To develop advanced applications for the automation of transmission and distribution networks with high integration of distributed energy resources, namely the application FLIR (Fault Location, Isolation and Restoration) for an ADMS (advanced distribution management system).

The work will also involve supporting the integration and testing of the developed application in a commercial ADMS. It is also expected that reports and articles will be written to disseminate the work.

Minimum profile required

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Informatics, Computer Science or similar.
• Knowledge in power systems steady state modelling.
• Knowledge in programming (C, C++ or Python).

Preference factors

• Knowledge in ADMS applications.
• Fluency in English and Portuguese (spoken and written).

Maintenance stipend: € 990,98 or 1259,64, according to the table of monthly maintenance stipend for FCT grants , paid via bank transfer.
