We're looking for an experienced and highly skilled Senior Grid Compliance Engineer to join our team, focusing on the design, analysis, and integration of cutting-edge electrical systems for our wind energy products. The ideal candidate should have a hands-on experience specifically utilizing PSCAD and PSSE for transient and dynamic studies in power systems, preferably within the renewable energy or wind manufacturing sector.

Key Responsibilities:

- PSCAD Modelling & Simulation:

1. Develop, refine, and validate detailed PSSE/PSCAD/EMTDC models of wind turbine generators, power converters, transformers, collector systems, and overall wind farm electrical systems.
2. Perform comprehensive electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies including switching transients, lightning surges, short-circuit analysis, and temporary over voltages (TOV).
3. Conduct sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) and sub-synchronous control interaction (SSCI) studies as required by grid codes or project specifications.
4. Understanding of synthetic inertia requirements from grid codes.

- Grid Integration & Compliance:

1. Analyse and ensure compliance with various grid codes (e.g., IEGC, specific utility requirements, etc.) concerning fault ride-through (FRT), reactive power capability, power quality, and agile voltage/frequency support.
2. Determine and optimize control parameters for wind turbine converters to meet grid requirements and enhance system performance.
3. Prepare and review Grid Impact Studies (GIS) and technical documentation for interconnection agreements.

- Design & System Analysis:

1. Contribute to the electrical design and specification of wind turbine components (e.g.,



converter topologies, filters, protection schemes).
2. Execute dynamic performance studies, stability analysis, and transient stability assessments to optimize system reliability and efficiency.
3. Collaborate with controls, hardware, and system integration teams to translate simulation results into robust design specifications.

- Testing & Validation:

1. Support Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and Field-Testing activities to validate PSCAD models against real-world performance data.

Required Qualifications

- Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related field.
- Experience: Minimum of 7+ years of professional experience in power system analysis, with a significant focus on PSSE/PSCAD/EMTDC software.
- Domain Expertise:
- In-depth knowledge of wind turbine generator technology (e.g., DFIG, Full-Converter) and associated control strategies.
- Proven experience in modelling power electronic converters (e.g., VSC, MMC) in PSCAD.
- Familiarity with grid interconnection requirements and standards for renewable energy.

Technical Skills:

- Proficiency in other power system analysis tools (e.g., PSSE, Power Factory) is a plus.
- Strong understanding of driverless PMSG wind generators, transmission and distribution system fundamentals.
- Excellent report writing and presentation skills for technical documentation.
