A Snapshot of your day


As a System Engineer for Real-Time Simulation of HVDC Systems you will work within a team of HVDC project management and engineering specialists to design and deliver full HVDC control and protection solutions for both wind farm grid connections and interconnectors making use of a new transient network analysis laboratory located in Manchester. 

You will report to the Engineering Manager – HVDC C&P and will be required to provide engineering work packages in line with project and business objectives. 


How you'll make a difference 

  • Dynamic performance studies within tender and project execution of HVDC projects 
  • Optimizing the dynamic behaviour of the HVDC converter (e.g., black-start and network restoration, grid forming controls, multi-terminal systems) according to customer and national grid code requirements 
  • Analysing sub-synchronous torsional/control interactions and the harmonic converter impedance, as well as potential interactions between the HVDC converter and other controlled devices in the power system 
  • Developing and validating simulation models for diverse EMT simulation tools (e.g., PSCAD/EMTDC, Matlab/Simulink, EMTP-RV) 
  • Customer trainings for simulation models and presentation of study results to customer 
  • Continuous improvement and standardization of simulation models, study procedures and methods, processes in project execution as well as documentation of results 
  • Supporting the project management in technical discussions, participating in customer meetings, and coordinating external partners 

Your skills and qualifications 

  • University degree in electrical engineering with a focus on power engineering 
  • Initial experience in the areas of power converter technology (HVDC and FACTS), high-voltage technology, digital simulation technology as well as control and automation technology 
  • Basic knowledge of real-time simulation systems, preferably with RTDS or comparable (such as Hypersim, e-megasim), and of simulation tools, preferably with EMTDC, EMTP-RV or Matlab/Simulink and RSCAD
  • Willingness to travel on business and abroad to deliver the system to the customer 
  • Initiative and motivation to learn, outstanding team and collaboration skills, enthusiasm to dive deeper into the field of Energy Transmission
