Graduation Project: Tactical Capacity Management

As an Intern Tactical Capacity Management in Arnhem, you improve grid analyses for future energy demands. You develop an automated method to identify critical N-1 grid conditions. Your work helps create a more reliable and future-proof energy network.

Dit ga je doen

The energy transition is impossible without you as an intern

During this internship, you will develop an automated method to identify critical N-1 grid conditions in the medium-voltage network. Your solution will help improve capacity analyses and support more reliable grid operation. You will combine network topology and power-flow data to create a fast, scalable, and explainable approach for System Operations. As an Intern Tactical Capacity Management – System Operations, you contribute to this mission. You will:

• Learn, grow, and gain valuable experience in a professional working environment.
• Analyse the medium-voltage network and use power-flow data.
• Develop an algorithm to identify the most critical N-1 grid configuration automatically.
• Validate results with experts and existing network scenarios.
• Integrate mid-term forecasts into the proposed methodology.
• Present findings and recommendations to the team.

You help make our network more complete at Alliander

The Tactical Capacity Management (TCM) team is part of System Operations (SO). Our team consists of 16 people: 7 developers, 7 specialists, 1 Scrum Master, and 1 Team Leader.
