Key facts

Familiarization with various methods for stability of grid-forming inverters in the sub- and supersynchronous frequency range
Familiarization with the existing simulation-based evaluation method and the existing inverter model, as well as MATLAB/Simulink if applicable
Application of the stability method in MATLAB/Simulink
Conducting targeted parameter variations of the inverter-internal control
Identification and analysis of potentially unstable operating ranges
Comparison of simulation and measurement results
Documentation of results and derivation of recommendations for control parameterization

You are studying electrical engineering, energy and control engineering or a comparable field.
You have already gained experience in the field of power electronics, electrical energy systems or simulation models of electrical units.
It is important to you to contribute to your team and to achieve goals together in interdisciplinary cooperation.
You plan and complete tasks independently and with high quality.
In pursuing goals, you overcome obstacles and setbacks.
You work responsibly and with commitment.
Experience with simulation programs such as PLECS and MATLAB/Simulink is an advantage but not a requirement.
You have already successfully demonstrated your very good German and English skills in word and writing.

Exclusive insight: In the joint work with the scientists of our work unit you gain an insight into the daily routine of research and development at a research institute.
Laboratory infrastructure: At Fraunhofer ISE we work on the most modern equipment and devices, so that research projects can be carried out at the latest state of the art.
Research mix: You get the opportunity to combine experimental work with theory and thus apply and expand your knowledge from your studies.
Supervision: In your work you will be supervised by scientists and receive feedback on your progress.
Teamwork: In exchange with the scientific and student employees you gather experience in teamwork and can contribute your already gained experience.
Working time and place: We offer you the possibility to flexibly adjust your working time in consultation to your needs and occasionally work from home.
Equal opportunities: We value equal opportunities and give space for diversity.
After Work: Celebrate yourself and your colleagues at after-work events or our annual staff parties.
