Understanding the moisture dynamics in transformer insulation is critical for predicting aging, dielectric failure, and overall reliability. While recent models like the Thermo‑Chemical Digital Twin offer advanced simulation capabilities, one major opportunity lies in modeling non‑uniform water distribution and its impact on voltage behaviour under transient conditions. Additionally, no established criterion exists for evaluating water content in paper insulation under energized conditions.
Your Responsibilities
Model Development: Extend the water diffusion model to include spatially resolved moisture dynamics and additional influencing factors such as temperature gradients and oil ageing.
Diagnostic Criteria: Develop a practical criterion for evaluating water content in paper insulation under energized conditions.
Voltage Behaviour Analysis: Investigate how increased and non‑uniform moisture distribution affects voltage response under impulse and switching conditions.
Validation: Validate model improvements through simulations and comparison with Break‑Down Voltage (BDV) tests using special wave shapes.
Your Background
Master’s student in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Applied Physics, or related fields.
Strong foundation in modelling and simulation (e.g., MATLAB, Python, COMSOL).
Knowledge of dielectric materials and transformer insulation systems.
Analytical and independent working style.
Fluent in English; German a plus.
What We Offer
Supervision by experienced R&D professionals.
Access to internal models, data, and simulation tools.
Opportunity to contribute to cutting‑edge transformer diagnostics.
Potential for follow‑up opportunities in research or engineering roles.
Hitachi Energy is a global technology leader in electrification, powering a sustainable energy future through innovative power grid technologies with digital at the core. Over three billion people depend on our technologies to power their daily lives. With over a century in pioneering mission‑critical technologies like high‑voltage transformers, automation, and power electronics, we are addressing the most urgent energy challenge of our time – balancing soaring electricity demand while decarbonising the power system. Headquartered in Switzerland, we employ over 50,000 people in 60 countries and generate revenues of around $16 billion USD. We welcome you to apply today.
