Arvada, Colorado, United States National Renewable Energy Lab Full time
Job Description

The National Renewable Energy Lab is seeking a highly skilled DRTS Operation and Controls Engineer to join our team. As a key member of our Research Operations group, you will be responsible for the hands-on integration of complex multi-technology systems, including electrical, mechanical, and thermal systems, with an emphasis on experimental setups involving FPGA-based controllers.

This role involves the evaluation of controllers and power devices within an experimental and real-time environment. Key responsibilities include leveraging both physics-based and data-driven methods for real-time simulation and analysis of hybrid energy systems, encompassing electrical, mechanical, and thermal systems, as well as hydrogen energy conversion.

The engineer will conduct dynamic and transient modeling and analysis, focusing on energy conversion between different system types, including short- and long-term storage solutions. The role also involves utilizing Controller Hardware in the Loop (CHIL) and Power Hardware in the Loop (PHIL) systems, as well as other experimental setups, for advanced characterization, analysis, and validation.

This includes designing and constructing experimental setups that mirror real-world applications, such as hybrid microgrid testbeds, and implementing embedded control systems that integrate FPGA logic, real-time controllers, and data acquisition systems to predict and mitigate common failures in low inertia environments.

Responsibilities
  • Leverage physics-based and data-driven methods for real-time simulation and analysis of hybrid energy systems
  • Conduct dynamic and transient modeling and analysis of energy conversion between different system types
  • Utilize CHIL and PHIL systems for advanced characterization, analysis, and validation
  • Design and construct experimental setups that mirror real-world applications
  • Implement embedded control systems that integrate FPGA logic, real-time controllers, and data acquisition systems
Requirements
  • PhD in Engineering, with a focus on Energy Systems
  • Expertise in power systems dynamics and controls, including proficiency with dynamic and transient modeling tools
  • Experience in electrical power engineering, particularly related to machine dynamics and energy systems
  • Strong foundation in data-driven methods for real-time control and automation of complex systems
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Proficient in documentation and interdisciplinary collaboration
