Doctoral Researcher in Power Electronics (DSII) / Väitöskirjatutkija, Tehoelektroniikka (DSII)

JOB DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the job is to create new knowledge for academia and industry in the field of power electronics. The goals are:

• Development of control methods for utility‑scale power electronic converters operating as static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs).
• Development of software tools to support the design, testing, and validation of the proposed control methods.

As a Doctoral Researcher you will first develop and test the control methods in a simulation environment such as Matlab. In a second step, the methods will be implemented in a hardware‑in‑the‑loop simulator. Finally, they will be run on a low‑voltage lab prototype. The tasks of doctoral researchers also include teaching duties that amount to approximately 5 % of their annual working hours, unless there are justified reasons to the contrary.

REQUIREMENTS

You need to have an applicable higher university degree in electrical engineering,...
