Power
System Engineer Intern
Full-Time
Experience - 0 - 1 Years
Location: Thiruvananthapuram
We are seeking a
Power System Engineer Intern with a strong interest in Distributed Energy
Resources (DER) integration and power system analysis. This role focuses on
modeling, simulation, and analysis of DER‑rich power systems using modern, open‑source
power system tools. The intern will work on real‑world grid planning and
operational problems related to solar, storage, EVs, flexible loads, and active
distribution networks.
This position
is well suited for candidates who enjoy analytical work, working with data and
models, and exploring next‑generation grid operation and planning approaches.
Key
responsibilities
· Assist with power flow and network
analysis for transmission and distribution systems with high DER penetration
· Develop and validate power system
models using open‑source tools such as PyPSA and pandapower
· Support analysis of DER integration
scenarios including solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, and flexible loads
· Perform steady‑state studies such as
load flow, voltage analysis, congestion analysis, and loss analysis
· Support time‑series simulations for
DER behavior and network impacts
· Assist in scenario analysis for grid
planning, hosting capacity, and operational studies
· Work with grid datasets including
network topology, asset parameters, and DER profiles
· Document modeling assumptions,
methodologies, and analysis results
· Collaborate with power system
engineers, data engineers, and software developers on integrated analysis
workflows
Requirements
Required
qualifications
· Currently pursuing or recently
completed a masters in Power Systems, Energy Systems, or a related field
· Strong fundamentals in power system
analysis, especially load flow concepts
· Understanding of DER concepts such as
inverter‑based generation, net load, flexibility, and aggregation
· Experience or coursework involving
power system modeling or simulation
· Working knowledge of Python for
analysis and modeling
· Ability to understand and work with
single‑line diagrams and network models
· Strong problem‑solving and analytical
skills
· Good written and verbal communication
skills
Preferred
skills (nice to have)
· Hands‑on experience with PyPSA,
pandapower, or similar open‑source power system frameworks
· Familiarity with time‑series
simulations and scenario‑based analysis
· Exposure to optimization concepts used
in power systems (OPF, capacity expansion, unit commitment – conceptual level
is sufficient)
· Experience working with DER datasets
such as solar generation profiles, load profiles, or EV charging data
· Basic familiarity with distribution
system analysis and unbalanced systems
· Exposure to grid modernization topics
such as DERMS, flexibility markets, or active network management
· Academic projects, internships, or
research related to DER or renewable integration
