Job Description
Job Description Summary
Tuning and Operations team is devoted to wind turbine systems modeling and operability tuning for product development and fleet support with a strong focus on product optimization.The vision of the Tuning and Operations team is to create customer value by delivering products with highest availability by minimizing risks from turbine operability related aspects and deliver quick return to service by timely and effective resolution of fleet issues.
The role of the Operability engineer includes enabling wind turbine optimization via appropriate control tuning of core operational and supervisory turbine control algorithms. This should result in wind turbine products capable of meeting targets on availability high performance levelized cost of energy (LCOE) as well as compliance with specific market segment regulations in terms of noise grid code etc.
Job Description
- Drive the progressive retirement of operability related engineering risks as part of different phases of a new product introduction (NPI) cycle from early conceptual design to product validation. Ensure turbine operation displays adequate levels of closedloop stability availability robustness and compliance to marketspecific requirements such as grid codes noise cold weather etc. Implement learnings from the fleet into the design phase.
- Perform controller tuning and operability assessments independently actively collaborate with other subsystem and crossfunctional teams for delivering on new products with high quality from conceptual design to product validation stage; Project specific assessments to support new unit sales in ITO phase or project in OTR phase; Fleet issue resolution and root case analysis projects.
- Drive the realization of system level tradeoffs (Energy production v/s Loads etc. via application of controls technologies/solutions to minimize turbine cost while pushing envelope on turbine performance and availability.
- Lead the adoption of new controller features and algorithms developed by the Controls organization as well as the ability to tune them to meet specific wind turbine systems tradeoffs.
Required Qualifications
- Masters degree from an accredited university in Controls Engineering Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering or related disciplines with specialization in Controls.
- Expertise in aspects of controls theory such as system modelling closedloop design and modelbased controls.
- 610 years in wind turbine or converter control tuning and optimizing.
- Knowledge of highfidelity multibody simulation (MBS) software for aeroelastic simulations (Simpack Flex5 Bladed Hawc2 Adams etc.. Some years of aeroelastic simulation experience applied to wind turbines.
- Strong oral and written communication skills in English.
Desired Characteristics
- Good understanding of wind turbine controls. Experience in controller code development for wind turbines. Wind turbine system design experience.
- Possessing strong analytical skills proficiency in time series analysis and statistical thinking is advantageous.
- Basic proficiency in MATLAB/Python programming as well as GitHub version control.
- Excellent communication interpersonal and presentation skills including ability and willingness to work across cultural boundaries in a global team.
