Simulation Model Developer - HVDC System Design

The opportunity:

If you have a keen interest in how and why things really work the way they do and pay attention to detail in order to navigate different challenges – this is the role for you. We offer you an exciting and stimulating work environment where you will be an important team-player in collaboration with engineering and marketing departments as with customers. Your problem-solving skills will contribute to develop models for multiple simulation tools used for power system studies, a key element to provide sustainable grids for the future.

How you'll make an impact:

• You will be responsible for development of models for simulation tools used for power system studies, responsible for virtual representation of real control and protection system.

• You will participate in process development and provide internal as well as external engineering support.

• You will be responsible for Verification studies with focus on dynamic performance.

• You will model structure and internal code module definitions.

• Simulation program interface, tool and process development.

• You will be supporting projects and tenders for HVDC System Design and interact with both internal and external stakeholders in those areas.

• You will be responsible to ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.

• Living Hitachi Energy core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.

Your background:

• You should have Master of Engineering - Power System (2 to 10 years experience)/ PhD - Power System (1 to 5 years experience).

• Extensive knowledge of Power Systems studies and modelling of electrical network, understanding and design of Electrical Power Systems and controls.

• Preferably knowledge on IEC/IEEE standards, understanding application of Power Electronics in HV/EHV system like HVDC and FACTS is preferred.

• Proven skills in using computers as a calculation tool.

• Preferably experience of power system simulation tools such as PSSE, EMTDC /PSCAD and calculations in Matlab/ Mathcad.

• Extensive knowledge of Power Systems equipment  and their purpose, such as Power Transformers, Capacitors, Reactors, Instrument Transformer and measuring equipment, Circuit Breakers, Disconnector, Surge Arrester etc.

• Knowledge in selection, sizing and integration of above equipment based on customer functional specification.

• Strong interpersonal and communication skill, fluency in English.
