Power System Studies Engineer — Grid Connection & Grid Code Compliance

About the role:

You will work within our power-system studies team on grid connection and grid code compliance studies for generation plants (CCGT, PV, wind, BESS) connecting to transmission networks in the GCC, Egypt and Africa. You will model the plant, run the studies, write the reports and support them through review by the transmission system operator (TSO) until approval. You report to the Lead Power Systems Engineer and work directly with EPC contractors, OEMs and developers.

 Responsibilities: 

• Build and integrate plant models (generators, transformers, auxiliaries, controllers) into TSO network cases in PSS/E and PSCAD; prepare and benchmark PowerFactory models (A MUST)
• Run the study scope: load flow, short circuit, transient and small-signal stability, SSO (SSTI/SSCI), power quality (harmonics, flicker, unbalance), EMT (insulation co-ordination, TRV, ferroresonance, energisation) and load-sensitivity studies with HVDC / STATCOM / BESS where applicable
• Develop and validate user-defined controller models (AVR, PSS, governor) from OEM data across PSS/E, PSCAD and PowerFactory
• Define study-case matrices and acceptance criteria against the applicable grid code
• Write clear English technical reports, compliance matrices and model documentation
• Respond to TSO and client review comments and contribute to obtaining study approvals
• Support model validation with commissioning test data
