Systems Engineer Substation & Wind Systems

Job Summary:

The Systems Engineer (Substation
& Wind Systems) will be responsible for the design standardisation and
engineering of LV/MV/HV electrical systems, substation layouts, and hybrid
interconnections involving solar and wind energy projects. The role requires
expertise in substation design (66 kV to 400 kV), electrical balance of plant
(EBoP), and integration of renewable generation systems into the grid. The
candidate will also support vendor evaluation, pre -bid engineering, and
technical coordination for hybrid and wind -inclusive projects across India.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Electrical Design &
Standardization:

• Carry out HV/EHV substation designs (AIS type)
  including layout, SLDs, and electrical sections from 66 kV to 400 kV.
  
• Develop standardised designs and templates for
  LV/MV/HV systems (LT panels, transformers, ICR/MCR, switch -yards, and grid
  substations).
  
• Prepare/guide design of SLDs, GA drawings, EKD,
  DSLP, earthing, cable routing, and illumination layouts.
  
• Perform equipment sizing and calculations
  (short -circuit, earthing, lightning protection, CT/PT sizing, conductor
  and battery sizing).
  
• Interface with protection, control, and SCADA
  systems for grid compliance and design coordination.
  
• Prepare and review technical RFPs, BOQs, and
  technical bid evaluations ensuring cost and design optimization.
  
• Coordinate
  with civil and mechanical design teams for multi -disciplinary interfaces.
  

2. Wind Electrical Integration:

• Support wind -solar hybrid system design and
  integration, including electrical evacuation and hybrid switch -yard
  configurations.
  
• Evaluate wind turbine electrical systems,
  transformers, switchgear, and interconnection standards.
  
• Review and interface WTG control and protection
  systems with solar and BESS assets in hybrid projects.
  
• Conduct grid compliance checks, system loss
  calculations, and hybrid power evacuation studies.
  
• Coordinate
  with wind OEMs, developers, and state utilities for project design and
  interconnection approvals.
  

3. Vendor Evaluation &
Technical Coordination:

• Evaluate and qualify electrical equipment vendors
  (transformers, switchgear, cables, protection panels).
  
• Review vendor datasheets, test certificates, and
  design compliance with IEC/IS/IEEE standards.
  
• Support factory acceptance tests (FAT) and
  pre -dispatch inspections for major electrical components.
  
• Collaborate
  with procurement and construction teams for material finalisation and
  implementation readiness.
  

4. Project &
Cross -functional Support:

• Provide pre -bid technical support including concept
  layouts, grid connection philosophy, and loss studies.
  
• Work closely with D&E, Hybrid, and Quality
  teams to ensure design uniformity and optimization.
  
• Maintain and continuously improve standard design
  libraries and documentation for future projects.
  

Requirements

Skills and Qualifications:

• Education: B.E./B.Tech or M.Tech in
  Electrical Engineering or Power Systems.
  
• Experience: Minimum 5–8 years of experience
  in electrical design within IPP, EPC, or OEM organizations, with mandatory
  hands -on experience in wind project electrical systems.
  
• Technical Competencies:
  
• Strong understanding of substation (66–400 kV)
  design, EBoP, and power evacuation systems.
  
• Proficient in AutoCAD and familiar with ETAP,
  CYME, and CDEGS for electrical analysis.
  
• Working knowledge of protection and control
  systems, grid integration, and hybrid system design.
  
• Familiarity with relevant standards – IEC, IEEE,
  IS, CEA, and state grid codes.
  
• Exposure to wind turbine electrical systems, MV
  collector circuits, and hybrid switch -yards are essential.
  
• Soft Skills: Excellent analytical,
  problem -solving, and coordination skills.
  
• Adaptability: Capable of working
  independently and managing multiple deliverables in a fast -paced renewable
  environment.
  

Benefits

What to Expect:

• Exposure to multi -technology hybrid projects
  combining solar, wind, and storage systems.
  
• Travel for vendor visits, inspections, and project
  site reviews as required.
  
• Significant scope for career growth and technical
  specialisation in hybrid renewable systems.
