About ENTSO-E

ENTSO-E is the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity. We coordinate the cross-border system operations, system development and electricity market activities of the 40 electricity transmission system operators (TSOs) which cover 36 countries. The ENTSO-E Secretariat in Brussels provides support on technical, market and policy developments for all European TSOs in their cooperation with each other, in their joint fulfilment of their legal mandates, and in the intensive interactions with EU decision-makers, regulatory agencies, associations representing network users and other stakeholders.

At ENTSO-E, you will contribute to building the world’s largest integrated electricity market – impacting not only those in the energy sector but also Europe’s overall economy, today and in the future!

Job description

Do you have electricity market background and data analysis skills? Are you are seeking an internship to gain insights into the next decade of energy evolutions and contribute to the energy transition? Join our dynamic, passionate and international team!

We are seeking 4 new interns to support the System Development section. We are offering a 6-month internship to motivated candidates with a background in one or more of the following fields:

Data engineering, machine learning, statistics, data science
Electricity systems (market and/or network modelling)
Energy engineering

As an intern in the System Development section, you will enhance and apply your knowledge while contributing to the implementation of the energy transition in Europe, especially though enhancement of data management systems, adequacy studies (Seasonal Outlooks, ERAA) and long-term studies (e.g. TYNDP).

Starting date: Flexible depending on the topic and university constraints.

Internship topics

Depending on your profile and interests, the internship can be tailored to various topics, including:

PyPSA Market Simulations

All Long-Term (LT) studies (ERAA, TYNDP but also Seasonal Outlooks) rely on market simulations. These are performed using Plexos, Antares, Bid3, Grare… Some of these tools are available off-the-shelf, others have been developed for TSOs. Some of these tools are relatively expensive, which can lead to limitations when a high number of licenses is needed to cope with challenges in the studies.

PyPSA is an open-source solution similar to the tools listed above. Open Energy Transition is a start-up aiming at promoting and facilitating the use of PyPSA to speed-up the energy transition. ENTSO-E is curious about PyPSA, i.e. how it compares in terms of computational performances and results with current solution. ENTSO-E is willing to host one or more interns to kick-off some investigations that will mainly focus on using PyPSA.

During the internship, the selected candidate will develop PyPSA models to replicate what is done for the studies. This will require understanding ENTSO-E models, the modelling capabilities of PyPSA and manipulating data to generate compatible models. For example, the modelling of Electric Vehicle charging, which is having a bigger and bigger impact on electricity demand, needs to be further investigated.

Market aspects for System Development studies are managed through an Expert Team (ET Market) made up of TSO representatives and ENTSO-E staff. This ET oversees multiple market aspects such as the feasibility of a standard for market data, the industrialization of a flow-based methodology for long-term study. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with this ET during the internship. Typical tasks to be carried out:

Learn how to use Plexos (from configuring inputs to consolidating results), and possibly other tools used internally by some TSOs.
Implement ENTSO-E models in PyPSA (from configuring inputs to consolidating results).
Perform simulations to benchmark tools, develop KPIs, etc.

Pan-European Market Modelling Database (PEMMDB)

The System Modelling Team have developed an application called the Pan-European Market Modelling Database, or PEMMDB App for short, in conjunction with a third-party supplier. The application collects and validates the data used in all System Development publications.

The application uses the Resource Description Framework (RDF) to store, validate and export data. We plan to continue to develop the application over the coming months and years, such that it can be used for more data collections. The use of RDF makes the application extremely flexible and will allow for future enhancements, integration, and developments.

During the internship, the selected candidate will apply data science and data analysis techniques to develop tools that interface with the PEMMDB App. Specifically, the tools should make the process of modifying and assessing the quality of the data model. Typical tasks to be carried out:

Creation and development of new tools for interacting with and analysing large, complex datasets.
Support the integration of the PEMMDB App with other System Development tools by working with other teams and third-party developers.
Enhancement of data modelling practices by investigating additional functionalities of tools such as Protégé and the feasibility of using new tools such as TopBraid or Enterprise Architect.
Automation of workflows related to modifying the data model, running validations, testing updates, extracting data and comparing the datasets of previous data collections.
Testing the feasibility of CI/CD pipelines and test-driven development on new and existing tools.

Output Data processing for adequacy assessment

European Resource Adequacy Assessment embraces a tremendous amount of data for modelling at hourly granularity the whole European electricity system. After calculation in the market modelling tool, the results need to be processed and analysed. This data chain and analysis is the object of the internship. Typical tasks to be carried out:

Support automation of processing of large EU-wide data related to market studies outcomes
Contribute to automate the ETL/ELT process of data retrieving, validation, and transformation
Collaborate with a team of 2-3 other data experts to solve challenges and improve efficiency.

Economic Viability Assessment

The intern will support the Adequacy team of ENTSO-E in the economic viability assessment (EVA). ERAA methodology prescribes the possibility to do EVA by the direct difference between cost and revenues of generating units. The general idea is to iteratively run an Economic Dispatch (ED) model, extract the zonal price outputs, and to use them as a mean to compute revenues of the different capacities. Once the EVA decisions have been taken, the ED model is modified accordingly, and the model is re-run. The recording and passing the data between each step, to other parts of ERAA, and also visualisations needed requires data analytics as the main focus of this internship. The intern may also, depending on the workload and competencies, support the adequacy team in other aspects of ERAA project such as flow-based or curtailment sharing.

Your profile

Full-time student in energy engineering, economics, data science or mathematics, with an interest in statistics and machine learning techniques.
Experience with complex datasets using Python.
An understanding of (or interest in learning about) graph databases and the Resource Description Framework.
Experience or strong interest with PyPSA is required for the internship topic on PyPSA Market Simulations.
Fluent in English, including excellent writing and presentation skills.
Strong motivation to work in a multi-cultural environment and to contribute to the European Energy Union.
Be eligible to reside in EU (meaning EU citizen or valid residence card).
Be a full-time student. The internship must be issued by your university as part of your studies.
Have a personal (or provided by university) health insurance valid for Belgium during the period of the internship.
Sign an internship agreement with your university and agree on exact length of the internship and schedule (full time or part time).

Our offer

An internship will allow you to:

Gain valuable experience from the inside one of our teams in a European context.
Build and expand your professional network.
Be part of a multicultural and dynamic environment.
Be refunded up to 700€ per month for your relocation expenses (such as housing and commuting).
