Power Systems Modeling Internship

What to Expect Start date: January/February 2027

Location: Amsterdam

Duration: 6 months

Length: Fulltime (40h a week)

NOTE: YOU MUST BE ENROLLED IN EDUCATION DURING THE ENTIRE INTERNSHIP TO BE CONSIDERED.

Tesla Energy Grid Solutions team is looking for a highly motivated individual who is excited about solving real-life power system issues around renewables integration. As an intern in this position, you will have an opportunity to build RMS/EMT power systems model for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and perform system studies.

What You'll Do This position is focused on power systems stability modeling and analysis. The intern is expected to:

• Demonstrate a solid theoretical background on EMT and dynamic modeling of power systems, renewable energy resources, and converter-interfaced devices
• Perform dynamics and transient simulations using positive-sequence tools (PSSE, DIgSILENT, or PSLF) and EMT tools (preferably PSCAD)
• Focus mostly on modeling battery energy storage systems in any of these software utilizing Python interfaces, running simulations, and analyzing the impact of these resources on stability of grids and microgrids

What You'll Bring* Currently studying in a relevant program such as Electrical Engineering or Mechatronics with a focus on Power and Energy Systems

• Practical experience with Python and modeling renewables in any positive sequence or EMT tool
• Must be self-managed and committed to working in a fast-paced environment
• Prior practical experience in conducting utility transmission interconnection studies for renewable and energy storage projects is a plus
• Practical experience with protection coordination, cable ampacity, transformer energization, and grounding studied is a plus
• Practical experience with ETAP and SKM software is a plus
• Experience with PowerFactory User Written Model is a plus
