Senior Electrical Engineer - Design Studies

About the role

ECI is seeking highly motivated Electrical Engineers with significant experience in performing EHV technical design studies. The ideal candidate should have deep knowledge and experience in most of the following studies at the EHV level:

• Shunt Reactive Compensation and Voltage Control
• Coupled Line Resonance Studies
• (Stuck pole on breakers drives NGR size on switched/fixed line connected shunt reactors to prevent resonance)
• Single Pole Automatic Reclosing
• (NGR sizing, reclose dead time determination, check stability margins, etc)
• Series Capacitor Analysis
• (Develop cap size, MOV sizing, etc.)
• Line Switching Overvoltage Studies
• (With/without breaker PIRs and point on wave controllers, etc)
• Line Insulation Coordination Studies
• (Includes assessing line clearances and make recommendations for PIRs, sub/line arresters, changes to clearances)
• Breaker TRV/RRRV Studies
• Line or Sub MAD calculations
• Coupling to Adjacent Circuits in ROW
• Voltage/Current Unbalance/Transposition Studies
• Transformer Energization TOV studies in HV/EHV systems
• EHV Capacitor Switching (analysis and TLI/PIR sizing)
• Techoeconomic Conductor Selection Studies
• EHV Power Cable Studies (EMT studies of riser design including grounding, cross-bonding, SVL sizing/placement, protection of cables)
