Development of a smart environment for asset management in power grids

The selected candidate will work on a research project related to asset management, reliability, life and maintenance of components for electrical transmission and distribution networks. Specifically, work will be carried out on an international project in which an “open source” type tool in Python to help manage power grid assets will be developed. The candidate will be integrated into a large team of researchers. The work areas in which this research is framed are the following:

Reliability
Maintenance
Contingency analysis
Assessment of the condition of electrical components
Asset Management

Requirements: Master degree. Knowledge of electrical power systems, as well as programming with Python and Matlab would be highly valued. Excellent spoken and written English.

It offers: Annual full-time contract for the development of projects. In addition, training activities may be carried out.
