Senior Power system studies Engineer

1. Technical
Delivery & Expertise

-       Deliver high-quality steady-state
and transient power system studies, including RMS and EMT (Electromagnetic
Transient) modelling for renewable energy projects across feasibility, detailed
design, grid connection, construction, and operational phases.

-       Perform a comprehensive range
of studies, including but not limited to:

-      Load
flow / power flow analysis (normal and N-1/N-2 contingency conditions)

-      Short
circuit / fault level analysis (symmetrical and asymmetrical faults)

-      Protection
coordination and relay setting studies (overcurrent, distance, differential,
directional, etc.)

-      Arc
flash hazard analysis and grounding / earthing studies

-      Power
quality studies (harmonics distortion, voltage flicker, voltage fluctuations,
THD assessment)

-      Grid
compliance and grid interconnection / evacuation studies

-      Contingency
analysis (static and dynamic)

-      Insulation
coordination studies (switching and lightning surges)

-      Stability
studies, including transient stability, dynamic stability, small-signal
stability, and voltage stability

-      Low
Voltage Ride Through (LVRT), High Voltage Ride Through (HVRT), frequency ride-through,
and active power recovery studies for renewable plants

-      Cable
ampacity, thermal rating, and reactive power compensation / voltage control
studies

-      Sub-synchronous
oscillations / control interactions (SSO/SSCI) studies where relevant

-      Ramp
rate control, frequency response, and inertial response studies for
inverter-based resources

-       Develop, validate, and maintain
detailed dynamic and EMT models for Solar PV inverters, Wind Turbines, BESS
(grid-forming and grid-following controls), collector systems, and hybrid
configurations, particularly in weak-grid (low SCR) and high-penetration
scenarios.

-       Conduct or support manual
engineering calculations for short circuit levels, transformer sizing,
protection schemes, grounding design, lightning protection, CT/PT sizing, and
reactive power requirements.

-       Review, interpret, and validate
vendor-supplied documents, protection schemes, equipment specifications, and
control settings for inverters, transformers, BESS, wind turbines, and FACTS
devices (SVC, STATCOM, etc.).

-       Perform studies involving HVDC
links and FACTS devices where integrated with renewable projects.

 2.
Tools, Modelling & Automation

-       Demonstrate advanced
proficiency in modelling and simulating complex power systems using ETAP and
DIgSILENT PowerFactory for steady-state, dynamic, and protection studies.

-       Show strong hands-on expertise
with PSS/E (for dynamic and stability studies), PSCAD (for detailed EMT and
transient studies), and EMTP (for insulation coordination and surge analysis).

-       Utilize DSL (DIgSILENT
Simulation Language) and Python scripting for automation of parametric studies,
batch processing, sensitivity analysis, custom model development, result
post-processing, and automated reporting.

-       Update, maintain, and
continuously improve study libraries, model templates, validation databases,
and standard workflows in ETAP and DIgSILENT PowerFactory.

3.
Compliance, Grid Codes & Standards

-       Ensure all studies fully comply
with relevant grid codes, including Indian regulations (CEA Technical Standards
for Connectivity, CERC/IEGC), Middle East and Africa grid codes, and
international requirements (exposure to North America – NERC, IEEE 1547 – or
Australia grid codes is an advantage).

-       Apply in-depth knowledge of
international standards such as IEC, IEEE (including IEEE 519 for harmonics and
IEEE 1547 for interconnection), IS, NEC, and other applicable norms for power
quality, protection, insulation, and ride-through capabilities.

-       Demonstrate familiarity with
harmonic measurements, relay settings, and advanced control interactions in
modern inverter-dominated grids.

4.
Quality Assurance & Reporting

-       Prepare clear, detailed, and
client-ready technical reports, simulation results, sensitivity analyses,
executive summaries, and presentations for clients, lenders, utilities, and
regulatory submissions.

-       Contribute to internal QA/QC
processes, modelling guidelines, and validation protocols to maintain the
highest standards of technical excellence and consistency.

5.
Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

-       Collaborate closely with
SgurrEnergy’s electrical design, renewable engineering, due diligence, and
advisory teams to deliver integrated, lifecycle solutions for renewable energy
projects.

-       Provide technical guidance and
mentoring to junior engineers on modelling techniques, tool usage, automation,
and grid code requirements.

-       Contribute to thought
leadership through technical blogs, whitepapers, internal knowledge-sharing
sessions, and presentations on renewable grid integration and power system
studies.

6.
Operational Responsibilities

-       Manage assigned project
budgets, timelines, and deliverables effectively.

-       Travel domestically and
internationally (approximately 15–25% of time) for site visits, measurement
campaigns, model validation, or client meetings as required.

-       Support business development
activities through technical inputs to proposals and client discussions.
