Summer Job as an Investigator in Power System Analysis

Trafikverket is currently investing in updating power system models of the authority's electricity grid, updating documentation for relay protection calculations, and inventorying and quality assuring previously completed work. The aim is to further develop the operations and strengthen our expert support in the field of electrical power.

We plan to hire two summer interns who will contribute to the development of our tools for power system analysis and protection schemes (relay protection). The tasks also include reviewing documentation from previously conducted investigations, analyses, and designs, as well as related archiving. Additionally, other tasks within electrical engineering may arise.

The tasks during the summer will include:

• Assisting in the development of power system models of Trafikverket's electricity grid in our power system simulation programs.
• Updating calculation files for relay protection settings, focusing on conversion to a new calculation program.
• Reviewing and archiving documents from previously conducted investigations, analyses, designs, etc.
• Inventorying requirement documents, drawings, and facility information related to electrical power or how the electrical power system is modeled.

On a daily basis, you will primarily collaborate with our specialists in electrical power within the unit.
