Job Description

TU Delft is seeking a talented PhD candidate to contribute to the development of a scalable and modular digital substation architecture that integrates current substation technologies and advanced monitoring, protection, automation, and control through IEC61850 communications, digital twinning, and virtualized Protection, Automation, and Control (vPAC).

The successful candidate will conduct research to develop the Digital Substation of the Future (DSoF) proof of concept, define requirements, and propose a scalable and modular DSoF architecture to overcome identified limitations and challenges of state-of-the-art substation automation systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop a scalable and modular digital substation architecture that integrates current substation technologies and advanced monitoring, protection, automation, and control.
  • Conduct research to develop the DSoF proof of concept, define requirements, and propose a scalable and modular DSoF architecture.
  • Collaborate with industry partners to link real-world challenges to fundamental research questions.
  • Develop and maintain a strong knowledge of power system automation, communication standards and protocols, and hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
  • Contribute to the development of a robust and scalable digital substation architecture that incorporates advanced monitoring, virtualized protection, automation, and control.
Requirements
  • Master's and Bachelor's degree in a highly quantitative and analytical discipline (electrical engineering with an emphasis on power systems, telecommunications, and/or computer science).
  • Excellent academic record (grades of B or higher).
  • Excellent analytical and writing skills.
  • Very good command of English.
  • Ability to read and critically analyze power systems / computer science / mathematics papers.
  • Strong knowledge of power system automation, communication standards and protocols, and hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
  • Strong knowledge of mathematics including differential algebraic equations, discrete systems, and probability theory and statistics.
Working at TU Delft
