Application Engineer - Grid Integration and Stability

Roles and Responsibilities

• Support customers with power systems engineering expertise; including modeling, analysis, equipment design and specification, and failure mode analysis.
• Steady state and dynamic modeling of utility systems and industrial systems and performing the analysis related to network adequacy, system stability, power quality, unit protection and relay coordination, islanding and load shedding schemes, special protection schemes etc using the simulation tools like ETAP, PSLF, PSS/E or similar.
• Perform power system transient studies, and detailed equipment modeling using appropriate software tools (E,g, PSCAD, EMTP, DigSilent etc).
• Perform technical analysis related to planning studies, power electronic and power systems control of renewable generation, battery energy storage systems, and large industrial drives.
• Build the RMS and EMT models for conventional machines and Inverter based resouces and their controls in different software tools like PSS/E, PSCAD, DigSILENT Power Factory etc.
• Excellent analytical and logical interpretation skills
• Effectively communicate results to both internal and external customers by preparing detailed written reports or presentations describing analyses performed, solutions developed, and customer value propositions.
• Enhance industry knowledge and be aware of present technical developments in terms of technical standards and grid codes in the region and global front.
