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
