The Senior Power System Engineer will lead and execute advanced simulation, modeling, and technical assessment tasks for power system projects with a focus on renewable energy integration, battery storage systems, and flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS).

This role demands deep technical expertise in steady-state, dynamic, and EMT (Electromagnetic Transients) simulations, as well as protection system design, arc flash studies, insulation coordination, and reactive power compensation. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 10 years of experience in power system analysis, simulation, and grid integration.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform advanced power system studies, including:

  • EMT simulations for grid events and converter-based generation using PSCAD and DIgSILENT PowerFactory.

  • Dynamic and steady-state simulations, load flow, contingency analysis, and stability studies.

  • Arc flash hazard assessments in compliance with IEEE 1584.

  • Relay protection setting and coordination studies, including modeling and analysis using vendor-specific tools such as Siemens DIGSI, SEL AcSELerator, ABB PCM600.

  • Insulation coordination studies and surge protection design.

  • Fault current analysis, grounding system design, and equipment sizing in accordance with IEC, IEEE, and NEC standards.

• Design and evaluate reactive power compensation systems, including STATCOM, SVC, and other FACTS devices, for solar PV, wind power, and battery energy storage (BESS) applications.

• Conduct dynamic model validation and tuning for inverter-based generation models to ensure accuracy in simulation and compliance with grid codes.

• Lead technical mentoring for junior engineers and contribute to the continuous improvement of internal processes, models, and engineering standards.

• Stay updated with evolving grid codes, technical standards, and industry best practices to ensure compliance and technical excellence in project delivery.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Power Systems.

• Minimum 10 years of professional experience in power system analysis, grid simulation, protection engineering, or renewable energy integration.

• Proven expertise with:

  • DIgSILENT PowerFactory for steady-state and dynamic studies.

  • PSCAD for EMT simulations of converter-interfaced systems.

• Strong technical knowledge of:

  • Protection engineering, including relay setting, modeling, and coordination.

  • Arc flash analysis in line with IEEE 1584.

  • Insulation coordination and surge protection.

  • Reactive power compensation and FACTS technologies.

  • Fault current analysis and grounding system design per relevant standards.

• Familiarity with international standards such as IEC and IEEE, and regional grid codes like ENTSO-E Network Codes or equivalent local TSO requirements.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Scripting skills (e.g., Python) for automation of simulation tasks.

• Experience with additional tools such as ETAP, ASPEN OneLiner, or similar.

• Familiarity with real-time simulation platforms such as RTDS or OPAL-RT.

• Professional certifications in Power System Protection, FACTS systems, or related disciplines are highly desirable.
