Power System Engineer [JBH891]

It takes the brightest minds to be a technology leader. It takes imagination to create green energy for the generations to come. At Siemens Gamesa, we make real what matters; join our global team. Siemens Gamesa is part of Siemens Energy, a global leader in energy technology with a rich legacy of innovation spanning over 150 years. Together, we are committed to making sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy a reality by pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

As a leading player in the wind industry and manufacturer of wind turbines, we are passionate about driving the energy transition and providing innovative solutions that meet the growing energy demand of the global community. At Siemens Gamesa, we are constantly seeking talented individuals to join our team and support our focus on energy transformation.

1. Development of Wind Turbine and/or Wind Farms Regulator electrical simulation models in Electromagnetic Transient models with specific features (snapshot, encryption, multi-run).
2. Integrate DLLs or automatically generated code.
3. Test model performance and analyze results. Provide inputs to other departments.
4. Modeling issues analysis.
5. Documentation of activities: design report, validation reports, user manuals.
6. Develop automation tools to run simulations and create reports automatically.

1. Transmission and distribution networks.
2. Grid elements: (power transformers, power cables, reactive power compensation devices, protection and distribution of MV grids...)
3. Electrical machines.
4. Harmonics analysis.
5. Transient stability (mainly LVRT and OVRT).
6. Electromagnetic transients simulation (EMT).
7. Dynamic studies (response to grid events or changes in power plant set points).
8. Simulation and modeling of control and electrical systems.
9. Small Signal Stability analysis of power systems.
10. PSCAD: Very important to have knowledge about the Fortran compilers, compatibility issues, and encryption techniques.
11. Creation and integration of compiled code (DLLs) into simulation tools allowing advanced features: multirun, multi-instance, and snapshot features.
12. Fortran and C programming.
13. MATLAB and Simulink.
14. RSCAD (software package) – Real Time Digital Simulator.

1. Simulation & Modeling: Wind turbines, desirable experience with type-3 and type-4 technologies for transient stability studies.
2. Ideally 3 or more years' experience developing PSCAD models.
3. Grid Connection background: Familiarized with grid code requirements.
4. B.Sc or M.Sc or PhD in electrical or power systems engineering.
5. Experience with wind power plants; or at least renewable energy power plants in which multiple components need to be controlled simultaneously to match the references or needs at the point of common coupling.
6. Renewable systems: mainly wind turbines, but also PV and BESS.
7. Algorithms to control power plants, mainly wind turbines, power converters, and/or renewable energy power plants.
8. Experience with hybrid power plants will be a plus.
