About this role
The National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) is seeking a motivated Power System Planning Intern to join the Grid Planning and Analysis Center (GPAC) within the Strategic Energy Analysis and Decision Sciences (SEADS) directorate. SEADS leads cutting-edge energy analysis and grid research, applying advanced modeling and simulation to design, plan, and optimize distribution and bulk power systems.
As part of GPAC, you’ll support applied research in electric power systems planning—using production cost and resource adequacy models, statistical and data analysis—primarily for transmission planning and data center integration. You’ll collaborate with a dynamic team working with utilities, regulators, and government agencies to deliver insights that enable a reliable, affordable, and resilient grid of the future.
Key Responsibilities:
- Run simulations and analyze data related to production cost and resource adequacy models for bulk transmission systems and data center integration
- Develop modeling and analysis tools, optimization formulation, simulation techniques, and clear, compelling visualizations to communicate research findings.
- Build tools to pull, clean, process, and integrate diverse datasets into existing workflows
- Strengthen GPAC’s capabilities in transmission planning and data center integration through data processing and visualization
- Contribute to ongoing projects by delivering technically rigorous and accessible insights for stakeholders
- Follow all Environment, Safety, and Health policies and procedures to maintain a safe working environment.
