Compensation
The pay range for this position based on full-time employment is: $119,323.00 - $202,850.00
Responsibilities
Lead transient stability and dynamic simulation studies for utility planning and interconnection work using PSS/E, PSLF, and TSAT, evaluating conventional generation, inverter-based resources (IBR), and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Develop, review, validate, and tune dynamic models, including generic renewable models (e.g., WECC) and user-defined models, through model quality tests such as flat-start, step-response, and fault ride-through checks.
Fluence is looking for a Senior Power Systems and Grid Modelling Engineer with experience in simulation of electrical power systems and modelling of network components including power electronics. This position focuses on power systems modeling of Fluence Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for Data Center/large load applications.
Responsibilities
Modeling of Battery Energy Storage Systems; 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 FRT, voltage stability, frequency stability, other simulations in the transient domain
Support product team in validation of control design concept
Requirements
Master's Degree in electrical engineering with emphasis on power systems or renewable energy systems
Nice to have: experience managing consultants and designers in sales, design, and construction/commissioning phases
Assess stability performance against NERC TPL-001 and regional planning criteria and PRC-024/PRC-029 ride-through requirements, including voltage recovery, damping and oscillatory behavior, and critical clearing times.
Perform voltage stability (PV/QV), weak-grid, and short-circuit-ratio screening, and coordinate with electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies where needed.
Perform NERC reliability standards studies and assessments, including TPL-001 stability analysis and MOD-026/027/032/033 model verification and validation.
Requirements
BS in Electrical Engineering
closely related engineering discipline
Nice to have: Advanced experience with transient stability studies
