Job Description
Job Summary
Generator Excitation and PSS Model Design and Tuning Expert who is highly motivated and skilled to join our team at Emerson. This position is essential for the design modeling and calibration of generator excitation systems and Power System Stabilizers (PSS) to guarantee the reliable and efficient operation of power generation systems. The suitable candidate will possess a high level of technical proficiency in electrical engineering control systems and power system dynamics as well as practical experience in enhancing the performance and stability of generators.
In This Role Your Responsibilities Will Be:
- Develop and simulate Power System Stabilizer (PSS) models to improve system stability and reduce lowfrequency oscillations.
- Tune excitation systems and PSS parameters to satisfy grid code requirements operational performance objectives and stability criteria.
- Develop and refine models for generator excitation systems including Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) and associated control systems using industrystandard software (e.g. MATLAB/Simulink PSS/E DIgSILENT)
- Perform field testing and validation of tuning parameters on operational generators.
- Examine the dynamic performance of generators in the presence of a variety of operating conditions and disturbances.
- Identify and resolve problems associated with suboptimal PSS performance or malfunctions of the excitation system.
- Work in close collaboration with equipment vendors grid administrators and power system engineers to guarantee that designs adhere to regulatory standards (e.g. IEEE NERC IEC).
- Offer technical mentorship for generator installations retrofits and improvements.
- Generate comprehensive technical reports model documentation and refining procedures for regulatory bodies and internal teams.
- Retain current records of test results simulations and designs.
- Effective Coordination & communication with PM/lead engineers.
- Ensure the highest level of customer focus and meet or exceed the customer satisfaction targets by following departmental quality procedures.
