Summary
The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) is seeking a summer research fellow to carry out research in electrical power systems modeling and simulation. In this role, the researcher will design, build, test and deploy models of emerging power systems technology with an emphasis on distributed generation, renewables, microgrid regulation and switching schemes, and solid state power electronics. Results are intended to produce actionable information for utility engineers and management in the areas of engineering and cost benefit analysis. These modeling efforts will be released to nine hundred affiliated utilities alongside existing efforts via the Open Modeling Framework, a software effort led by NRECA and developed in partnership with the Department of Energy, the National Labs, software vendors, and utilities. Researchers will also participate in the publication activities of CRN.
Purpose and Mission
Learning Objectives
Understand the evolving technical challenges and solutions for electric utilities.
Learn about the cooperative model and co-op community.
Contribute code to an open source modeling system in production.
Perform original research on smart grid cost-benefit analysis.
Projects
Work on mathematical models of smart grid technology.
Advance the state of the art in electrical distribution modeling to provide actionable intelligence to our non-profit cooperative members.
Design, build, test and deploy code that will be part of our web-based modeling framework.
This is an intern position.
3.0 or above GPA required Dates
May 19th thru August 8th, 2014
Wages: $17 per hour
