A Snapshot of Your Day

SGRE is looking for a self-driven and proactive Power System Engineer that would be responsible for developing, testing, and debugging grid simulation models on wind power turbines and plant controllers.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Development of electrical simulation wind turbine models in MATLAB/SIMULINK.
• Develop and validate RMS (PSSE) and EMT (PSCAD) model using the dll obtained from MATLAB/SIMULINK and perform benchmarking.
• Analysis of simulation results and identify needed performance/modelling improvements. Benchmarking and validation of wind turbine models against reference data (field/HIL test result).
• Modeling of Wind Farms; these models will be used to perform steady state, dynamic, transient and frequency domain simulations. Perform simulations to evaluate compliance to requirements related to: Short Circuit, PQ capability, Voltage limits, overloading, of equipment, other simulations.
• Write reports where the input data, results and conclusions of the above simulations will be clearly described.
• Support customer communication including meetings as grid subject matter expert.

What You Bring

• Master’s degree in Electrical Power Engineering
• 8-10 years’ experience in electrical models and control development in performing design and grid compliance.
• Have knowledge of current grid compliance regulations and experience working with grid authorities like ERCOT, NERC, FERC.
• Have experience performing several types of electrical studies like Harmonic Studies, Load Flow Analysis, Dynamic Stability, Frequency domain analysis, Transient studies.
• Have experience modeling and simulation of control systems (e.g. current control, voltage control) and power system components (e.g. transmission lines, transformers, generators) in time-domain and frequency-domain
• Desirable experience with wind turbines (DFIG and/or FC technologies), or other converter-based units (e.g. PV, HVDC, STATCOM, Energy Storage) or other generation units (e.g. hydro power plants).
• Desirable experience with mathematics; numerical analysis, signal processing: filtering, interpolation, FFT, control theory, optimization techniques.
