Summary
National Laboratory of the Rockies is seeking a Graduate (Summer Intern) – Large-scale Power System Modeling, Simulation and Analysis to join their team in Golden, CO. The role involves supporting research in modeling and simulation of modern power grids.
About the Role
As a Graduate (Summer Intern), you will work with the Grid Automation and Control group to conduct transient analysis for high inverter-based resource (IBR) systems, support large-scale system studies, develop new electrical components, and prepare reports and presentations. You will also write and publish results in peer-reviewed journals.
About You
Required:
- Must be enrolled as a full-time student in a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD degree program, or graduated in the past 12 months from an accredited institution.
- Minimum of a 3.0 cumulative grade point average.
- Strong understanding of small-signal, transient, and voltage stability.
- Hands-on experience developing user-defined dynamic models of IBRs in PSSE or PSLF.
- Familiarity with modeling of energy storage systems, including pumped-storage hydro and batteries.
Preferred:
- Experience in modeling and simulation of inverter-based resources (IBRs) and stability analysis of high-IBR-dominated power systems.
- Experience with data center modeling.
- Experience with software development in Python, C++, or other programming languages.
- Hands-on experience developing automated tools for accelerating contingency analysis.
Benefits
- 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.
