Power System Engineer

Job Description

Power System Engineer will perform steady-state simulations like load flow, short circuit and power quality studies(harmonic analysis and flicker analysis), as well as RMS and EMT simulations (FRT, FSM, Voltage control, Energisation, etc.) for PV, BESS, and Wind power plants. They will also ensure project compliance to local grid requirements.

Key Tasks

• Perform steady-state simulations like load ow, short circuit and power quality studies (harmonic analysis and flicker analysis), as well as RMS and EMT simulations (FRT, FSM, Voltage control, Energisation, etc.) for PV, BESS, and Wind power plants
• Analyse protection coordination studies for the power plants
• Participate in grid code compliance assessments, model validations, and certification processes with utilities, consultants, or certification bodies
• Provide technical input during project development, ensuring that grid connection factors are fully considered
• Examine third-party studies, identify key issues, and suggest alternative solutions
• Carry out feasibility studies for grid connections to assess available capacity and identify the most cost-effective connection solutions
• Supervision and review of the conceptual, schematic, and detailed design of the HV grid connection, including calculations, technical specifications, and drawings for PV, BESS, and Wind projects
• Identify trends in grid requirements per country of operation and how to ensure compliance at lowest cost
• Coordinate with senior engineers the required measures to ensure project compliance
• Discussions with local project developers per project
• Ensures all project compliance before handing over to an EPC

Qualifications

• Master's in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related discipline, with a strong focus on power system dynamics, control, or simulation
• 3 to 5 years of relevant industry experience in grid compliance studies and power Systems
• Strong understanding of international grid codes and TSO requirements (e.g., ENTSO-E and UK guidelines), and ability to interpret and apply them in customer projects
• Experience participating in grid code compliance assessments, model validations, and certification processes with utilities, consultants, or certification bodies
• Knowledge in design in areas of PV plants, BESS and Wind layouts, SLD, Power
• Transmission, System loss calculation, and general electrical requirements of large-scale power plants
• Knowledge of electrical components/system design, identification of correct specification according to the project requirements, as per the standards
• In-depth knowledge of power cables, transmission lines, power transformers, switchgear, relays, earthing and protection systems
• Experience with tools such as Power Factory, PSS/E, and PSCAD, with hands-on
• Experience modelling conventional and renewable energy sources, control systems and FACTS
• ATP/EMTP, ETAP, MATLAB Simulink, or CYMCAP are of advantage but not mandatory
• Proficiency in developing user-defined models for power system analysis using software tools will be valued, particularly in programming languages such as Python, Fortran, DSL, NPL, or similar. Competencies in digital solutions like AI, databases, and data analytics will
• Language: English, Other European languages would be appreciated
