Thesis Work for Developing Software Testing Functionality for HVDC Control and Protection i Ludvika

Om tjänsten

You will be a part of Grid Integration, Technology and Solutions Development. High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) is a highly efficient alternative for transmitting large amounts of electricity over long distances and for special purpose applications. As a key enabler in the future energy system based on renewables, HVDC is truly shaping the grid of the future. The control and protection (C&P) system is the brain in HVDC transmission systems. One of the most important advantages with modern HVDC technology is the controllability.

Our team is responsible for developing and maintaining the base control and protection application software for use as the starting point for HVDC delivery projects. A significant part of our efforts is to test the application software. Adding built-in simulation modes would allow for pre-testing of functionality. It could also expand the opportunities for testing functionality in already commissioned systems, for example before applying changes to a live system.

The goal of this Master Thesis is to develop built-in simulation and testing functionality for HVDC C&P. Tasks include identifying functions suitable for internal simulation as well as implementing and testing the software in an actual C&P system. We are however open to discussing the scope of the thesis based on the profile of the students. The scope could also include pre-study efforts for future steps, for example towards virtualization or automatic testing.

Master program in Engineering, preferably with a profile towards power systems or software
• Period: Preferably first half of 2019
