Solving the integration of multiple renewable energy generators is at the forefront of our work with world-class power engineers.
Job Description
About ACEREZ: a consortium of ACCIONA, COBRA and Endeavour Energy. We are the appointed Network Operator for the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (CWO REZ), a major greenfield EHV transmission network project.
This project integrates 7 GW of renewable projects to a reliable purpose-built network for the benefit of NSW. As part of this team, you will have the opportunity to gain knowledge in transmission and network development, integration of control systems, and experience across the full design, delivery and operating life of this exciting project.
About The Role:
We are looking for a skilled professional to use their expertise in power quality analysis software and scripting to work with a specialised team on small signal and frequency domain analysis in world-leading IBR integration methods enabling improved stability and harmonic analysis for holistic network solutions.
You will work independently and proactively on problems but can also collaborate with the team. Your focus will be to effectively solve whole of network damping filters and reduce the multiplicity of LV filters in the network.
Key Responsibilities:
* Conduct power quality studies in PowerFactory and analysis in Matlab.
* Manage power quality data and measurements, prepare regular measurement analysis reports.
* Integrate and assess generator frequency domain impedance scan models in PowerFactory.
* Use python scripts to conduct power quality studies, analyse results and prepare technical reports.
* Describe from first principles the analysis undertaken.
* Identify and troubleshoot issues with scripts and software.
* Evaluate generator power quality compliance with allocated emission limits, analyse and identify remediation recommendations.
* Collaborate with internal teams to deliver high-quality analyses, feedback and reports.
The role can be based in Wollongong, Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, with a hybrid work environment offered.
About You:
* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or higher), majoring in power and control.
* Circa 3+ years' experience of power system analysis, power quality analysis, planning or connection studies experience.
* Experience with PSS/E, PSCAD, or PowerFactory and Matlab.
* Strong understanding of AS 61000 power quality assessment for generator compliance to flicker and harmonics emission limits, good understanding of voltage unbalance assessment.
* Proficiency in technical report writing and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts.
* Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
