Missions

The engineer will work with researchers, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows to develop Hard-Ware in the Loop (HIL) and Power Hard-Ware in the Loop (PHIL) design support tools for electrical and energy networks.
To this end, the engineer will have access to several tools to be coupled on the LAAS-CNRS platform, ranging from simulation tools (Matlab/Plecs) to HiL tools (Typhoon/RTbox/DSpace) and dedicated microprocessors, before transitioning to the control of an initial microgrid under LabView, consisting of at least one source, one load, and one storage element.
Following this initial work, a generalization of the approach will be planned and planned in agreement with the LAAS research team and the I2C technical department.

Contexte de travail

The main objective of the DC-Architect project, included in the PEPR TASE of the France 2030 plan, is to design distribution networks capable of transmitting energy in the form of direct current at medium voltage. These networks fall somewhere between local microgrids (often isolated or resilient) and large interconnected networks, which are also evolving towards DC infrastructures in some cases.
The proposed engineering mission is therefore situated within the national context of the France 2030 recovery plan and, in particular, within the PEPR project named DC-Architect, which includes more than 16 Electrical Engineering research laboratories. This therefore requires regular presentations and discussions on work progress with all partners.
The planned development and research work is in the field of design assistance for so-called hybrid energy microgrids in a harsh environment of conversion architectures such as electrical distribution networks. With the rise of renewable energies, often connected via power electronic converters (PECs), distribution networks are becoming AC/DC hybrid, dynamic and increasingly complex. These sources often lack inertia or are subject to weather conditions, making their control difficult and sometimes have to adapt to drastic changes in operation such as in the event of a power outage. In this context, networks must be equipped with design assistance tools and methods that play a key role in providing flexibility, stability and repeatability for a massive deployment of microgrids. - formatting of results for scientific publications.
