Power Systems Modelling Software
Engineering, IT, Mathematics and Statistics
ABOUT THE INDUSTRY PARTNER
Electrotechnik develops commercial desktop and web-based applications for performing electrical power engineering calculations in accordance with Standards, electrical principles and industry best practices for a world-wide market.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
The intern will have the opportunity to work with experienced mentors on real-world commercial software application problems. The work space environment they’ll be working within is a thriving technical hub in Sydney CBD with plenty of developmental opportunities.
RESEARCH TO BE CONDUCTED
The research project involves the development of a flexible software algorithm for modelling power system components including transformers, overhead transmission lines, underground power cables and loads, and based on the node voltage method solving an arbitrary network. The main application is for the analysis of fault current distribution and electrical interference studies involving electrical earthing systems. The intern will be mentored by experts from the industry.
SKILLS WISH LIST
If you’re a postgraduate research student and meet some or all the below we want to hear from you. We strongly encourage women, indigenous and disadvantaged candidates to apply:
- Electrical power systems engineering specialisation.
- Strong MATLAB code development skills.
- Experience using power systems analysis packages (for example Digsilent Power Factory, PSCAD or similar).
RESEARCH OUTCOMES
The outcomes will be a complete working and well-structured and well-documented set of algorithms developed using MATLAB. A series of technical reports validating the results for real-world applications against other similar software packages will be produced.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
The intern will receive $3,000 per month of the internship, usually in the form of scholarship payments.
It is expected that the intern will primarily undertake this research project during regular business hours and maintain contact with their academic mentor throughout the internship either through face-to-face or phone meetings as appropriate.
The intern and their academic mentor will have the opportunity to negotiate the project’s scope, milestones and timeline during the project planning stage.
Please note, applications are reviewed regularly and this internship may be filled prior to the advertised closing date if a suitable applicant is identified. Early submissions are encouraged.
