Within the Electrical Energy & Computer Architectures (Electa) research 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 research associate position available on the subject of modelling and stability analysis of future converter-based power systems.The massive integration of renewable energy sources in the power system worldwide is pushing the transmission systems to their limits. Power electronics-based network components are playing a major role in this energy transition. They offer the possibility to control power flows and increase the reliability of the network under variable working conditions. On the transmission level, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology is the candidate for reinforcing and u...
