Are you interested in developing new technologies for 100% inverter-based power systems? Here’s the right internship opportunity for You! Join our research group Autonomous Systems and Control located in Princeton, NJ, for a 3 – 9-month internship and develop new technologies for modeling, control, optimization, protection and testbed development of power systems with high renewable integration. You will be involved in active research which addresses the challenges of 100% renewable integration. Our close contact to different business units in Siemens provides the opportunity to contribute to and gain experience in real industrial applications. During this internship, you will experience the excitement and challenges of industrial research. An internship with Siemens Technology is a great opportunity for students to gain real world experience in a diverse work environment. Siemens Background For 170 years, pioneering technologies, and the business models developed from them, have been the foundation of Siemens’ success. Our central research and development unit, Technology (T) plays an important role in this. Together with its global network of experts, T is a strategic partner to Siemens’ operative units. It provides important services along the entire value chain – from research and development to production and quality assurance, as well as optimized business processes. The support provided to the businesses in their research and development activities is ideally balanced with T’s own future-oriented research. Siemens’ central research and development arm sees itself as a strategic partner to the company’s businesses. It plays a key role in achieving and maintaining leading competitive positions in the fields of electrification and automation while at the same time helping Siemens fully tap into the growth field of digitalization. Our Princeton facility is recognized for providing a stimulating environment for highly talented and self-motivated students. You will have the opportunity to test your knowledge in a challenging problem-solving environment. You will be encouraged to think out-of-the-box, innovate and find solutions to real-life problems. Our team has a strong publication record in leading journals and conferences. What are my responsibilities? • You will contribute to industrial research projects on energy systems and smart grid. • You will collaborate and exchange ideas with experts in the fields of power system protection, microgrid control and optimization. • You will develop and implement innovative power system concepts and solutions, i.e., control and protection for inverter dominated systems, unit commitment of inverter-based resource, sizing and quantification of power quality for inverter-based resources, , etc. • You will test and validate these solutions in simulation or software prototype. What skills are needed to qualify for this internship? • A current student pursuing a MS/PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, computer science or related fields • Current student must be authorized to work in the US • At least one of the following technical expertise Experience in inverter control and modeling Experience in power system protection (such as overcurrent protection, differential protection, distance protection, directional protection etc.) Good understanding of optimization algorithms and solvers (such as SCIP, Gurobi, etc. for solving MINLPs and MILPs) • Experience in Git preferred • Proficiency in Siemens microgrid controller CP8050 • Good programming knowledge in MATLAB/Simulink, C, and/or Python preferred, e.g., writing reusable code • Ability to work independently and apply creative thinking strategies for problem solving • Excellent team working and communication (verbal & written) skills in English • Flexibility and adaptability to work in a growing, dynamic, interdisciplinary team of experts.
