Full-time Experience Level A Snapshot of Your Day

As a Control & Protection Engineer for HVDC Studies you will work within a team of HVDC project management and engineering specialists to design and deliver full HVDC control and protection solutions for both wind farm grid connections and interconnectors making use of a new transient network analysis laboratory located in Manchester.

You will report to the Engineering Manager - HVDC C&P and will be required to provide engineering work packages in line with project and business objectives.

How You'll Make an Impact

• Dynamic performance studies within tender and project execution of HVDC projects
• Optimizing the dynamic behaviour of the HVDC converter (e.g., black-start and network restoration, grid forming controls, multi-terminal systems) according to customer and national grid code requirements
• Analysing sub-synchronous torsional/control interactions and the harmonic converter impedance, as well as potential interactions between the HVDC converter and other controlled devices in the power system
• Developing and validating simulation models for diverse EMT simulation tools (e.g., PSCAD/EMTDC, Matlab/Simulink, EMTP-RV)
• Customer trainings for simulation models and presentation of study results to customer
• Continuous improvement and standardisation of simulation models, study procedures and methods, processes in project execution as well as documentation of results
• Supporting the project management in technical discussions, participating in customer meetings, and coordinating external partners

What You Bring

• University degree in electrical power engineering or control engineering in combination with PhD degree and experience in power engineering industry
• Good knowledge in high voltage applications, power transmission systems, power electronics and HVDC technology
• Expertise in control engineering and modelling of HVDC systems in the time domain and frequency domain
• Professional user of typical power system simulation programmes (e.g., PSCAD/EMTDC, Matlab/Simulink, EMTP-RV)
• Fluent English mandatory (spoken and written), German preferable
• Outstanding team skills, initiative, and customer orientation
