We are seeking an experienced Power System Integration Engineer to support grid connection processes and grid compliance for utilityscale renewable energy projects (solar wind hybrid). The ideal candidate will have a strong background in power system studies and substation design as well as a comprehensive understanding of transmission networks and grid infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities:
- Perform grid connection studies including load flow short circuit analysis and dynamic simulations to assess compliance with grid codes and technical requirements.
- Conduct power system analysis to evaluate grid topology connection points and regional power flows.
- Identify and assess optimal grid connection points based on capacity availability voltage levels and system stability.
- Analyze existing grid infrastructure and propose substation upgrade or expansion measures including HV equipment and protection systems.
- Collaborate with transmission system operators (TSOs) and distribution system operators (DSOs) during technical due diligence and interconnection application processes.
- Evaluate overhead transmission lines (OHL) substation highvoltage systems (AIS/GIS) and related components for technical feasibility and compliance.
- Support the development of grid connection strategies including conceptual design of substations and grid interfaces.
- Prepare and review technical documentation including singleline diagrams (SLDs) interconnection studies and technical specifications.
- Participate in technical meetings with stakeholders contractors and utility representatives.
Requirements
- Bachelor s and Master s degree in Electrical Engineering Power Systems or a related field.
- 8 years of experience in grid connection studies power system modeling or substation engineering.
- Proficiency in simulation software such as DIgSILENT PowerFactory PSS E or ETAP.
- Strong understanding of local grid codes transmission planning and interconnection standards.
- Experience with HV substations (design equipment layout) and overhead lines is essential.
- Ability to interpret network development plans electrical schematics and protection philosophies.
- Excellent analytical communication and reporting skills.
- Fluent in English; knowledge of Arabic is an asset.
