EDF, a world’s leading electricity company, is aiming at speeding up innovation for the cities of tomorrow with innovations in energy efficiency in buildings, new low carbon uses of energy, smart grids, renewable energy, electric mobility and batteries.
In Singapore, the R&D branch of EDF Group has launched EDF Lab Singapore in 2014 to develop and explore solutions to help decision makers and developers achieve their vision of smart and sustainable cities. Working with the Singaporean institutions, EDF Lab Singapore is rooting a strong expertise adapted to the Singaporean and South East Asian context. EDF Lab Singapore is therefore looking for new talents to join its motivated team.
The Smartgrid IT Research Intern will be involved in the Grid Activities of EDF Lab Singapore, focusing mainly on microgrids. EDF Lab Singapore is currently working on design tools to size microgrids for rural electrification and associated research projects.
As such the future recruit scope of work will be involved in the evolution of those 2 domains:
“Urban Microgrids in Singapore”
- This is a project that focuses on the topic of energy management strategies for microgrids and multi-microgrids
- This task will involve working on the system model for microgrid simulations with distributed energy resources (DERs)
- The intern will work on the development of an energy management tool to optimize the utilization of different DERs in the microgrid and prospective demonstration of such tool in the microgrid testbed.
Support to Industrial Development
- Several tools have been developed by EDF Lab Singapore to support the industrial development of the microgrid business in Asia Pacific
- LiteDERMS: an Energy Management System software developed in GoLang and used to optimize in real-time the energy mix of an off-grid microgrid
- Load Curve Generator: This Excel-based tool is used to estimate the consumption of remote communities in Indonesia and build the loadcurve that is an essential input in sizing the overall microgrid system
- Cost Database: an Excel record that will be transferred to a centralized cloud-based application
Skills developed throughout the Internship
Throughout this internship, the recruit will be trained on the technical topics of microgrids that are embedding the full picture of designing and operating a complex electrical system. This will increase its knowledge about real-life constraints of industrial assets from an electrotechnical standpoint.
Its software skills in VBA, JavaScript and Matlab will be enhanced thanks to the guidance of EDF experts
