Beschrijving The Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT) at KU Leuven offers a postdoc position in the field of Modelling of power electronic converter-based systems for harmonic and small-signal stability analysis. Within the Electrical Energy & Computer Architectures (Electa) division and EnergyVille, the research team led by prof. Jef Beerten focuses on the combined modelling and control of power electronic converters and power systems, with a focus on DC systems. The group of PhD students and postdocs consists of about people. Within the team, we have a postdoc position available on modelling of power electronic converter-based systems for harmonic and small-signal stability analysis. Power electronic converters are seen as essential building blocks for the energy transition. Amongst others, they act as a gateway between traditional AC transmission systems and HVDC connections. The recent appearance of converter interactions between these AC transmission systems on the one hand and converters with their fast-acting controls on the other hand is raising awareness to the fact that present-day system studies are not always able to adequately reveal this problem due to existing modelling paradigms. We are searching for an experienced researcher to strengthen our team on harmonic and small-signal stability analysis of power electronic converter-based systems. The postdoctoral researcher can be involved in both public-funded, as well as industry-funded R&D projects. The responsibilities of the postdoctoral researcher will be: To contribute to the research conducted in the group: directly and/or through (co-) supervision of junior researchers To publish research outcomes of research in top academic journals and conferences To represent the group in projects and with industry To contribute to the research roadmap “towards HVDC grids" Profiel As the ideal candidate: You have obtained the PhD degree in electrical engineering with a solid background in power electronic converter and network modelling from a reputable institute. You have obtained outstanding scientific contributions during your PhD, e.g. shown through publications in relevant top academic journals. You are motivated to work in a team with activities centered on HVDC systems and to assist in supporting the work of junior experts in the research team. You have experience with relevant power system simulation software, with a focus on the integration of power electronic converters in the system. You are able to communicate fluently in English, both orally and in writing. Knowledge of the Dutch language is a plus. You are willing to occasionally travel in the framework of the project. We offer an exciting job in one of the leading research institutes in the field. The study of converter-related interactions in power systems is receiving significant attention from both academia and industry. This postdoctoral project allows you to work on a highly timely research topic: In an inspiring research environment within an international team of enthusiastic colleagues. With state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure (). Where you can engage in research collaborations and participate at international conferences and be involved inexpert groups. With different projects for industry and in public R&D projects, with industry involvement. We offer a full-funded post-doc position with multiple benefits (health insurance, access to university infrastructure and sports facilities, etc.).
