About the Job

Requirements

  • An interest in computer programming and mathematical tools for solving differential equations, particularly in electromagnetism and/or fluid mechanics.
  • Scientific familiarity with electromagnetism, molecular physical chemistry, electrical engineering, and/or general physics.
  • Ability to present results and write effectively.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct a literature review and analyze electrostatic phenomena that may promote migration of polar molecules C4F7N and/or H2O in pressurized g3 gas under a constant electric field.
  • Study the macroscopic electric field imposed by the equipment geometry under direct current and how it changes between zero-load and high-load states based on solid-insulator charge and the thermal map.
  • Research interactions between polar molecules and the electric field, including induced dipole moments and fields resulting from dipoles.
  • Collect physicochemical data for C4F7N and g3, including dipole moments and thermodynamic properties.
  • Explore the potential role of magnetic fields induced by conductor current and charge displacement, as well as diffusion, for possible future study.
  • Develop an initial electrostatic simulation model coupling the equipment's macroscopic field with the field induced by polar dipoles.
  • Model the system first in one-dimensional geometry and then extend it to two-dimensional axisymmetric geometry.
  • Apply the model to a representative high-voltage direct-current equipment configuration.
  • Make an initial estimate of the impact of polar-species displacement on the local dielectric strength of the gas.

About the Company

GE Vernova

Builds equipment and software for electric power

GE Vernova makes equipment and software that generate and manage electricity for utilities, power producers, and industrial customers. Its Power, Wind, and Electrification businesses span gas turbines, wind generation, and the systems that move electricity across grids. The company supplies generators, grid equipment, and controls, while its software coordinates network operations and integrates changing sources of power. Customers buy equipment and enter service agreements for maintenance, upgrades, and technical support over its operating life, alongside purchases of software and related services. GE Vernova became an independent company in 2024 after separating from GE and is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
