We are looking for a Power System Engineer to join our Grid Connection department.

How to contribute to our vision  

As a Power System Engineer you will

• Develop Wind Turbine and/or Wind Farms Regulator electrical simulation models in Electromagnetic Transient models with specific features (snapshot, encryption, multi-run).
• Develop converter control algorithms for grid features.
• Integrate DLLs or automatic generated code.
• Test model performance and analysis results. Provide inputs to other departments.
• Assess model performance against WTG capabilities.
• Analyze Modelling issues analysis.
• Documentation of activities: design report, validation reports, user manuals.
• Develop automatization tools so that they can run simulations and create reports automatically.

What you need to make a difference  

Previous experience:

• Ideally 3 or more years’ experience developing PSCAD models or developing new converter control algorithms.
• Grid Connection background: Familiarized with grid code requirements.

Technical Knowledge:

Power System engineering:

· Transmission and distribution networks.

· Grid elements: (power transformers, power cables, reactive power compensation devices, protection and distribution of MV grids...)

· Power electronics

· Electrical machines

· Harmonics analysis

Power System studies:

· Transient stability (mainly LVRT and OVRT)

· Electromagnetic transients simulation (EMT)

· Dynamic studies (response to grid events or changes in power plant set points)

· Simulation and modeling of control and electrical systems.

· Small Signal Stability analysis of power systems

SW skills:

· PSCAD: Very important to have knowledge about the fortran compilers, compatibility issues and encryption techniques.

· Creation and integration of compiled code (DLLs) into simulation tools allowing advanced features: multirun, multi-instance and snapshot features.

· Fortran and C programming

· MATLAB and Simulink

· RSCAD (software package) – Real Time Digital Simulator

In return for your commitment we offer you  

Become a part of our mission for sustainability: Clean energy for generations to come. We are a global team of diverse colleagues who share a passion for renewable energy and have a culture of trust and empowerment to make our own ideas a reality. We focus on personal and professional development to grow internally within our organization. Siemens Gamesa offers a wide variety of benefits such as flexible working hours as well as home-office possibility for many colleagues, employer-funded pension, attractive remuneration package (fixed/variable) and local benefits such as subsidized lunch, employee discounts and much more.

What you need to make a difference

Simulation & Modeling:

· Wind turbines, desirable experience with type-3 and type-4 technologies for transient stability studies.

· Wind power plants; or at least renewable energy power plants in which multiple components needs to be controlled at the same time to match the references or needs at point of common coupling. Renewable systems: mainly wind turbines, but also PV and BESS.

· Algorithms to control power plants, mainly wind turbines, power converters and/or renewable energy power plants. Experience with hybrid power plants will be a plus.

Other skills:

· Good interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate technical topics clearly and concisely.

· Self-motivated with the ability to take the initiative in finding innovative solutions to complex technical challenges.

· It is important that you are a dedicated team player, and you thrive in a multi-cultural environment – just as you possess fluency in spoken and written English
