Team Lead Grid Engineering

Job Purpose:

The team lead of Grid Engineering will lead the grid team and is responsible for delivering the wind farm simulations in respective simulation models (PSSE, PSCAD, etc) for the specific countries. The team lead Grid Engineering also makes sure the necessary developments for the wind turbines are kicked-off to fulfil the grid requirements and is well aligned with customers & grid authorities and can drive the code development with his team.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the grid team in order to deliver in full (on time, at cost and at quality) on all deliverables (steady state simulations with PSS/E, PSCAD, DigSilent; Harmonic Studies, Grid compliance studies, etc.)
• Be able to perform simulations / guide team regarding all necessary s
• Set-up cooperations with 3rd parties (e.g. engineering centres) to ensure fast support
• Establish communication with grid authorities / operators and customers to enable smooth grid connection for wind farms
• Take part in grid code development and in different committees
• Set-up a system/process for global grid code analysis with first focus on India, Europe and Middle East
• Implement / Drive new developments for grid compliance / additional grid service to enable unique selling position
• Developing processes and tools to optimize the work of the grid engineering team (e.g. enable fast and automated project calculations)
• Built-up of global grid team (competency and efficiency)
• Support certification activities related to grid behavior DECS/Type Certificate
• Make sure NCR´s are solved on-time and with respective quality.
• Monitor execution tightly and pro-actively mitigate/Eliminate risks.
