Thesis Work on Investigating converter-driven instability in MVDC grids

Construction, Engineering & Trades · Civil & Industrial Engineering · Electrical Engineering

In short

This thesis focuses on investigating converter-driven instability in MVDC grids, particularly in multi-terminal and AC-DC parallel networks. The goal is to develop models, identify causes of instability, and evaluate mitigation measures for MVDC grid design.

Responsibilities

Develop dynamic and small-signal models of a representative MVDC grid.
Identify the various causalities of instability and the key parameters that determine stability margins.
Evaluate mitigation measures and derive guidelines for stability assurance of MVDC grid design.

Requirements

Strong interest in solving emerging real-world problems.
Background in Electrical Engineering with focus on Power Systems or Power Electronics.
Good knowledge of control theory.
Good programming skills in MATLAB/Simulink or Python.

Desired Qualifications

Experience in power system modelling (e.g. small-signal analysis) in PSCAD / PowerFactory is desirable.

Benefits

5 months duration.
30 ECTS credits.
Opportunity to work at ABB Corporate Research.
