About the Role
Location: United Kingdom, Manchester
Remote vs. Office: Hybrid (Remote/Office)
Company: Siemens Energy Limited
Organization: Grid Technologies
Business Unit: Grid Solutions
Employment Type: Full-time
Experience Level: Not specified
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, utilizing 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:
* Conduct dynamic performance studies within tender and project execution of HVDC projects.
* Optimize 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.
* Analyze 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.
* Develop and validate simulation models for diverse EMT simulation tools (e.g., PSCAD/EMTDC, Matlab/Simulink, EMTP-RV).
* Provide customer trainings for simulation models and present study results to customers.
* Drive continuous improvement and standardization of simulation models, study procedures and methods, processes in project execution as well as documentation of results.
* Support project management in technical discussions, participate in customer meetings, and coordinate with external partners.
What You Bring:
* University degree in electrical power engineering or control engineering, combined with a PhD and experience in the power engineering industry.
* Good knowledge of high voltage applications, power transmission systems, power electronics, and HVDC technology.
* Expertise in control engineering and modeling of HVDC systems in the time domain and frequency domain.
* Proficient user of typical power system simulation programs (e.g., PSCAD/EMTDC, Matlab/Simulink, EMTP-RV).
* Fluent in English (spoken and written); German is preferable.
* Outstanding team skills, initiative, and customer orientation.
