Responsibilities

• Modeling of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS); 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, and other simulations in the steady state domain.
• Perform Dynamic simulations (RMS) to evaluate compliance to requirements such as Fault Ride Through (FRT), voltage stability, frequency stability, and other simulations in the dynamic domain.
• Perform Transient simulations (EMT) to evaluate compliance to requirements such as FRT, voltage stability, frequency stability, and other simulations in the transient domain.
• Support the product team in validation of control design concepts.
• Stay up to date with the latest requirements and technology advancements for large load applications.
• Simulate and evaluate grid behavior of the connected BESS using power systems analysis software with emphasis on full system integration, control, and model validation.
• Prepare and review engineering deliverables including complex reports and presentations.
• Conduct internal review and quality checks of engineering models and calculations to ensure compliance with project requirements.
• Work 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.

Requirements

• Ability to manage consultants and designers in sales, design, and construction/commissioning phases across multiple projects (experience with tier-one companies valued).
• Experience in review of grid connection compliance design.
• Experience in performing integration studies for Data Center and large load applications.
• 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., PSS®E, PowerFactory, PSCAD/EMTDC, MATLAB® Simulink®, PSLF, TSAT) including automating using Python scripting.
• Knowledge of utility grid interconnection standards, such as UL/IEEE standards, North American ISO/RTO requirements, and grid codes.
• Experience and ability to work in a high-pressure environment.
