Job description

Responsibilities

• Modeling of Battery Energy Storage Systems; these models will be used to perform steady state, dynamic, transient and frequency domain simulations.
• Perform Steady State simulations to evaluate compliance to requirements related to: Short Circuit, PQ capability, Voltage limits, overloading of equipment, other simulations in the steady state domain.
• Perform Dynamic simulations (RMS) to evaluate compliance to requirements such as FRT, voltage stability, frequency stability, other simulations in the dynamic domain.
• Perform Transient simulations (EMT) to evaluate compliance to requirements such as FRT, voltage stability, frequency stability, other simulations in the transient domain.
• Perform Power Quality studies to evaluate compliance to requirements such as harmonic, flicker and voltage change.
• Simulate and evaluate grid behaviour of the connected BESS using power systems analysis software with emphasis on full system integration, control and model validation.
• Preparing and reviewing engineering deliverables including complex reports and presentations.
• Working with stakeholders (internal, customer, consultant, regulatory etc.) to ensure grid connections are achieved end-to-end in a timely manner, including attending meetings and providing progress reports.
• Support modelling requirements and activities for customer’s BESS projects across the globe.

Requirements

• Experience in review of grid connection compliance design.
• Bachelor’s Degree or Master's Degree in electrical engineering with emphasis on power systems or renewable energy systems and/or 4-6 years of work experience.
• Proficient in power system analysis and control simulation tools (e.g., PowerFactory, PSCAD/EMTDC, PSS®E), including automating using python scripting.
• Experience & ability to work in a high pressure environment.
• Skills: simulations, steady state, power systems.
