Job summary

Fluence is seeking a Senior Power Systems and Grid Modelling Engineer to advance battery energy storage system (BESS) modeling for data centers and large loads. You will lead steady-state, dynamic, and EMT simulations of inverters and control systems, collaborating with product teams across multiple projects to ensure reliable grid connections.

This role requires a master's degree in electrical engineering with emphasis on power systems and hands-on experience with the listed tools.

Qualifications

Master's degree in electrical engineering with emphasis on power systems or renewable energy systems and/or 3-5 years of work experience.
Proficient in power system analysis and control simulation tools (e.g., PSSÊ, PowerFactory, PSCAD/EMTDC, MATLAB® Simulink®, PSLF, TSAT) including automating using python scripting.
Experience in review of grid connection compliance design.
Experience in performing integration studies for Data center and large load applications.

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
Support product team in validation of control design concept
Be upto date with the latest requirements and technology advancements for large load applications.
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.
Conduct internal review and quality checks of engineering models and calculations to ensure compliance with the project's requirements.
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.
