Internship nonlinear grid current controllers

Take your next career step at ABB with a global team that is energizing the transformation of society and industry to achieve a more productive, sustainable future. At ABB, we have the clear goal of driving diversity and inclusion across all dimensions: gender, LGBTQ+, abilities, ethnicity and generations. Together, we are embarking on a journey where each and every one of us, individually and collectively, welcomes and celebrates individual differences.

In R&D team in Turgi, medium voltage power electronic converters are being designed and developed for power levels higher than 12MW. These converters are primarily used for high power offshore wind turbines. A very important element of their control is the grid current controller. The current controller must contribute to the damping of disturbances that may appear in the grid by introducing a high effective resistance in a wide frequency range
