Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (mandatory).
• 6–12 years of relevant experience in Power System Studies and Renewable Energy Projects (solar, wind, BESS).
• Exposure to green hydrogen project applications is an added advantage.

Responsibilities

• Conduct steady-state and transient power system studies, including RMS and EMT modeling.
• Load flow and short circuit analysis.
• Protection coordination (relay coordination).
• Arc flash and grounding studies.
• Power quality analysis (harmonics, flicker).
• Grid compliance and grid integration studies.
• Contingency and insulation coordination studies.
• Stability studies (LVRT, HVRT for renewable plants).
• Cable ampacity and reactive power studies.
• Develop models for Solar PV, Wind Turbines, and BESS systems.
• Prepare detailed technical reports, presentations, and simulation results.
• Utilize coding/scripting (DSL / Python) for automation and model development.
• Update and maintain study libraries in ETAP/DIgSILENT
• Apply knowledge of grid codes (India, Middle East, Africa; exposure to North America/Australia is an advantage).
• Ensure compliance with IEC, IEEE, IS, NEC and other international standards.
• Support manual engineering calculations (short circuit, transformer sizing, protection schemes, grounding, lightning protection, CT/PT sizing).
• Familiarity with HVDC, FACTS (SVC, STATCOM), and relay setting/harmonic measurements.
• Contribute to business development through technical blogs, whitepapers, and knowledge sharing.
• Review and interpret vendor documents, protection schemes, and equipment specifications (inverters, BESS, wind turbines).
