Huawei Canada has an immediate 12-month contract opening for a Researcher.
About the team:
The Smart Grid Technology Lab’s research focuses on Power electronics, Energy
Management Systems and other Smart Grid Technologies, applying the latest
technology to the digital power industry. The lab has become a research
organization with many significant industry achievements.
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 microgrid 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.
About the ideal candidate:
-
Ph.D. or Ph.D. students in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with a
strong publication record.
-
Proficiency with circuit design and simulation tools (e.g., EMTP, PSCAD,
etc.)
-
Strong knowledge of microgrids/IBRs and related standards, and a strong
understanding of the protection of IBRs and their dynamics.
-
Fluent in C/C++ and Python. FPGA and/or PLC programming is an asset.
-
Familiar with machine learning and deep learning techniques, such as SVM and
CNN.
-
Familiar with communication protocols, such as IEC61850 (SV, Goose, MMS),
MODBUS, etc., and generating .dll and .exe files and working with them.
-
Eager to prepare report documents for patent applications and
journal/conference publications.
