required for interfacing with various external elements like protection relays, Meters, Substation Automation System, Speech communication, and data communication, with the support of protection & Control System personnel

b) Telecommunication for Plants:

o The candidate shall have in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience
in Engineering & Design of Telecommunication system for Plants
and shall be able to apply the same for Conventional generation / Inverter based generation Plants
. This involves selection of Fiber characteristics, Ethernet switches
, Time Synchronization, protection relays, Meters, Substation Automation System, Speech communication, data communication with the support of protection & Control System personnel.

  • The candidate shall be able to understand the project specific requirements {as mentioned (a) / (b)} and conceptualize the associated Telecom requirements in-depth to develop the Telecom Network Architecture
    as required.
  • Shall have good knowledge in understanding the OEM telecom Products
    such as Multiplexers, Ethernet switches, Fire optics cables, Time Synchronization elements like GPS / GNSS
    etc. and be able to apply the practical limitations critically while developing the Telecom Network Architecture.
  • Shall be capable of traffic engineering low latency & low jitter
    network suitable for PPC/EMS control loops (as required by plant design) to meet the fast setpoint execution, disturbance response, and operational stability
    .
  • Shall be conversant with telecom products from lead OEMs
    such as Hitachi, GE, Siemens, Huawei, ZTE
    etc. and shall be able to determine the various equipment ratings based on Telecom Budget
    calculation.
  • The candidate shall have hands-on experience to define the requirement and develop a detailed Specification for the Telecom system
    and provide it to engineering.
  • Basic understanding of purpose of various equipment
    connected in Transmission system Substation such as PPC, SCADA, RTU, Protection Relay, SCMS, SAS, PMU and their telecom interface points
  • Overall knowledge on various communication protocols
    such as Modbus TCP/IP, IEC 101, IEC 104, IEC 61850, GOOSE being applied through Telecom system.
  • Hands-on experience in selecting and evaluating GPS / GNSS
    system meeting IRIG-B, PTP protocol
    , and shall be familiar with IEEE 1588 (PTP) and IEEE C37.238 standards and provide solution with respect to project specific requirements.
  • Good knowledge and experience in Cyber security
    compliance checks and test acceptance and apply the same suitably for the project’s intended telecom requirements.
  • The candidate shall have in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience
    in Engineering & Design of Telecommunication systems as well as providing necessary support for Factory Acceptance Test (FAT).
  • Shall support commissioning team with necessary guidance and procedures for Field testing such as Cold and HOT commissioning of Telecom system.

    Some of the key field tests are listed below: o Telecom power autonomy + Blackout recovery
  • Fiber link certification (validating loss budget) for all critical paths
  • PRP/HSR seamless redundancy test
  • PTP/NTP Stability test
  • WAN connectivity
  • Cyber security
  • Modbus TCP/IP and/ or IEC 104 Transmission check

The candidate shall have hands-on experience with diagnosing the network performance using…
