AREVA T&D PEM delivers turn key project in power electronics substations especially in the

electrolysis area and in traction systems. Its expertise is involved in various part of the product,

through network study, engineering, transformer and filter specifications, power factor correction,

diode or thyristor rectifier, supervision architecture, control and regulation, installation and

commissioning.

Objective

Within the R&D department, the selected candidate will be involved in the power quality analysis for

a large electrolysis smelter. He will take part in the electrical network filtering and in the transient

stability studies of an aluminum substation. By the use of specific software tools, he will simulate the

complete system in order to study several aspects such as:

for filter on HV and tertiary, current and voltage in filter and transformer)

impact of a slight phase unbalance, impact of a slight difference in the firing angle)

All items will be treated by simulation and will make the object of a report that will include the

analysis, the results and the demonstrations of the phenomenon involved. The candidate will also be

involved in some tests on mock-up.
