National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) – R&D SOFC Grid Integration Power Electronics

 Morgantown, WV & Pittsburgh, PA

Apply by 6/1/19

Through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), this posting seeks researchers to participate in the research and development of power electronics applications for interfacing between solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems and utility grids. The scientist/researcher will collaborate to study the interactions between SOFC and power conditioning systems and to research novel methods to optimize SOFC system operations with emerging power electronics and power conversion applications.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in these elements (but not necessarily all):

·        Experience with designing and implementing controllers for single- and three-phase inverters

·        Experience with MATLAB/Simulink/PLECS simulation tools or other power electronics simulation packages

·        Experience with designing and applying electronics and electrical test equipment including oscilloscopes with current and voltage probes, DSP controllers with PWM capability, impedance measurement systems, LCR meters, network analyzers, function generators, and other power electronics instruments

·        Familiar with distribution class, medium voltage converters, such as multi-level converters
