Senior Generator Modeling Engineer - Remote Renewables

AES Corporation; New York (NY); À distance; USD 145 000 - 181 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

AES Corporation seeks a Principal Generator Modeling Engineer to oversee generator models from interconnection studies to operations for ACE's renewable portfolio. Lead engineers, coordinate internal/external resources, and ensure models meet MOD and NERC requirements.

Ideal candidates have 8+ years in generator modeling with PSSE/PSLF and EMT in PSCAD, plus strong leadership and collaboration skills for cross-functional teams across multiple regions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering.
• 8-10+ years of experience with modeling software (PSSE and/or PSLF). Generator modeling experience preferred.
• 1+ years of experience with electromagnetic transient (EMT) models in PSCAD.
• Demonstrated leadership and project management experience.
• Experience training and overseeing engineers developing and reviewing models/studies.
• Interconnection package experience.
• Experience with Aspen for short circuit studies.
• Excellent understanding of inverter-based technology operations and inverter settings.
• Understanding of MOD standards and PRC-029.
• Proficient at reading substation and PPC control schematics and understanding of inverter/turbine settings.
• Strong communication skills and ability to lead technical discussions among HV EPCs, Power Utilities, consultants, and internal stakeholders.
• Able to review complex analysis and can develop formal documentation, technical reports, and presentations.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to prioritize projects and tasks.
• Ability to successfully work remotely and independently, away from an office environment or direct supervision, for extended periods of time.

Responsabilités

• Prepare, review, and submit generator models for new and existing renewable resources for interconnection request packages, as-built model submittals, ISO, and NERC requirements.
• Oversee consultant work for plant models - PSLF, PSSE, PSCAD, Aspen.
• Coordinate and prioritize modeling work among internal and external resources.
• Lead team members to deliver results and improve workflows.
• Guide engineers on model builds, verifications, data gathering, and analysis. Ensure the team's generator model builds are in line with Transmission Planner and Planning Coordinator expectations.
• Ensure the team's models meet ride-through, reactive power requirements and that parameters are reasonable.
• Supervise engineer's gathering of data required for model builds from varying sources including manufacturers, contractors, and external consultants with minimal supervision.
• Supervise engineer's generator models with substation schematics, inverter/turbine settings, power plant controller behavior, and generator properties.
• Track and implement generator model upgrades per ISO and NERC requirements.
• Coordinate responses to Transmission Planner/Planning Coordinator modeling requests and concerns.
• Oversee model validation field tests for MOD-026-2 verifications.
• Guide projects under development for compliance with technical MOD standards (MOD-032 and MOD-026-2) and PRC-029 ride-through requirements.
• Train engineers on model development and verifications.
• Find and implement efficiencies in modeling process from interconnection requests to as-built models.
