Power System Modelling Engineer

Engineering Service Business Unit focuses on power system software development, power system and substation consulting studies and compliance testing services, as well as asset management solutions for electric utilities and other clients in power industry. We are the vendor of the cutting-edge power system analysis software package, DSATools™, which has been recognized globally as leading-edge technologies and software platforms for dynamic security assessment of large complex power systems for both off-line (system planning) and on-line applications (near-real-time operation).

We are also one of primary power system consulting teams well recognized internationally. We are providing a full spectrum of study services from fast electromagnetic transient switching studies, to typical power system planning and operation studies (including transient, small-signal, voltage, and frequency st abilities), post-mortem investigation of system disturbances and events, generation and load interconnection studies, generator including wind and solar renewables, and load model development or validation via field testing, and to NERC compliance studies (e.g., TPL, PRC, MOD, CIP, etc.).

We are also equipped with a Real-Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) for evaluating and testing new control, protection, and communication schemes and devices.
The Senior Power System Modelling Engineerwillperformmodel validation and control tuning for generation plants, including wind, solar, and energy storage systems, as well as conducting validation and simulation studies in compliance with NERC and other applicable reliability standards. Key responsibilities include :
Reviewing power plant technical documentation and prepare unit-specific test plans in accordance with applicable standards and project requirements
Conducting power system simulation studiesaligned with NERC and other reliability standards
Preparing detailed engineering reports communicating methodologies, analysis, and findings
Performingpeer reviews of technical reports to ensure quality and compliance
Travel to industrial and power generation sites globally to perform onsite generator model validation testing
Developing technical proposals, including scope, cost estimates, and project schedules
Collaborate with internal teams, clients, and stakeholders to ensure successful execution
Remote work is acceptable, provided deliverables meet expectations
QUALIFICATIONS   Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems strongly preferred);
Bachelor’s degree with direct & relevant experience will be considered
