The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) applies cutting-edge technology to operating a reliable electricity system, managing competitive markets for wholesale electricity, and planning for the Empire State's energy future. The NYISO takes pride in recruiting, developing, and retaining highly talented individuals. Our Co-Op Program provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience while developing a deeper understanding of New York's bulk power system, wholesale electricity markets, and emerging grid technologies.
The Research & Engineering team is evaluating Advanced Power Flow Control(APFC) technologies and their representation within NYISO market and power system models. This co-op project will support the assessment of a modular Static Series Synchronous Compensator (SSSC) technology, an innovative transmission control device that can influence power flows by adjusting line impedance.
Working alongside engineers and subject matter experts, the co-op will help analyze whether the device behavior can be effectively represented using existing modeling approaches within the NYISO Business Management System (BMS) framework. The project will provide exposure to transmission modeling, power system operations, and the electricity markets that support reliable grid operations.
