How to contribute to our vision

As a Grid Study Engineer, you will be performing Grid Studies aiming to evaluate compliance to Wind Farm developer’s requirements for offshore projects.

You will provide simulations and reports to SGRE’s Grid Engineering Managers, more specifically, your assignments will cover:

• Grid Code andDeveloper-requirementanalysis.

• Modeling of Offshore Wind Farms; 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, other simulations in the steady state domain.

• Perform Dynamic simulations (RMS) to evaluate compliance to requirements such as FRT, voltage stability, frequency stability, other simulations in the dynamic domain.

• Perform Transient simulations (EMT) to evaluate compliance to requirements such as Inrush current, fast transients, voltage stability, frequency stability, other simulations in the transient domain.

• Perform Transient simulations (EMT) to evaluate compliance to requirements such as Inrush current, fast transients, voltage stability, frequency stability, other simulations in the transient domain.

• Create scripts to automate the above described simulations.

• Write reports where the input data, results and conclusions of the above simulations will be clearly described.

• Support SGRE Park Control Lead Engineers on Field Tests related activities.

• Support SGRE Grid Engineer Managers to communicate and defend the results and conclusions written in the studies reports.

• Support SGRE Grid Engineer Managers to prepare the studies scope of work; which will include the planning of Input data, timeline, description of studies execution and how the results will be presented.

• Technical support to project and sales teams.
