Key skills for this role
- Deliver high-quality steady-state and transient power system studies , including RMS and EMT (Electromagnetic Transient) modelling for renewable energy projects across feasibility, detailed design, grid connection, construction, and operational phases.
- Perform a comprehensive range of studies, including but not limited to:
- Load flow / power flow analysis (normal and N-1/N-2 contingency conditions)
- Short circuit / fault level analysis (symmetrical and asymmetrical faults)
- Protection coordination and relay setting studies (overcurrent, distance, differential, directional, etc.)
- Arc flash hazard analysis and grounding / earthing studies
- Power quality studies (harmonics distortion, voltage flicker, voltage fluctuations, THD assessment)
- Grid compliance and grid interconnection / evacuation studies
- Contingency analysis (static and dynamic)
- Insulation coordination studies (switching and lightning surges)
- Stability studies, including transient stability, dynamic stability, small-signal stability, and voltage stability
- Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT), High Voltage Ride Through (HVRT), frequency ride-through, and active power recovery studies for renewable plants
- Cable ampacity, thermal rating, and reactive power compensation / voltage control studies
- Sub-synchronous oscillations / control interactions (SSO/SSCI) studies where relevant
- Ramp rate control, frequency response, and inertial response studies for inverter-based resources
- Develop, validate, and maintain detailed dynamic and EMT models for Solar PV inverters, Wind Turbines, BESS (grid-forming and grid-following controls), collector systems, and hybrid configurations, particularly in weak-grid (low SCR) and high-penetration scenarios.
- Conduct or support manual engineering calculations for short circuit levels, transformer sizing, protection schemes, grounding design, lightning protection, CT/PT sizing, and reactive power requirements.

More from this employer
- Review, interpret, and validate vendor-supplied documents, protection schemes, equipment specifications, and control settings for inverters, transformers, BESS, wind turbines, and FACTS devices (SVC, STATCOM, etc.).
- Perform studies involving HVDC links and FACTS devices where integrated with renewable projects.
2. Tools, Modelling & Automation
- Demonstrate advanced proficiency in modelling and simulating complex power systems using ETAP and DIgSILENT PowerFactory for steady-state, dynamic, and protection studies.
- Show strong hands-on expertise with PSS/E (for dynamic and stability studies), PSCAD (for detailed EMT and transient studies), and EMTP (for insulation coordination and surge analysis).
- Utilize DSL (DIgSILENT Simulation Language) and Python scripting for automation of parametric studies, batch processing, sensitivity analysis, custom model development, result post-processing, and automated reporting.
- Update, maintain, and continuously improve study libraries, model templates, validation databases, and standard workflows in ETAP and DIgSILENT PowerFactory.
- Ensure all studies fully comply with relevant grid codes, including Indian regulations (CEA Technical Standards for Connectivity, CERC/IEGC), Middle East and Africa grid codes, and international requirements (exposure to North America – NERC, IEEE 1547 – or Australia grid codes is an advantage).
- Apply in-depth knowledge of international standards such as IEC, IEEE (including IEEE 519 for harmonics and IEEE 1547 for interconnection), IS, NEC, and other applicable norms for power quality, protection, insulation, and ride-through capabilities.
- Demonstrate familiarity with harmonic measurements, relay settings, and advanced control interactions in modern inverter-dominated grids.
- Prepare clear, detailed, and client-ready technical reports, simulation results, sensitivity analyses, executive summaries, and presentations for clients, lenders, utilities, and regulatory submissions.
- Contribute to internal QA/QC processes, modelling guidelines, and validation protocols to maintain the highest standards of technical excellence and consistency.
- Collaborate closely with SgurrEnergy’s electrical design, renewable engineering, due diligence, and advisory teams to deliver integrated, lifecycle solutions for renewable energy projects.
- Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers on modelling techniques, tool usage, automation, and grid code requirements.
- Contribute to thought leadership through technical blogs, whitepapers, internal knowledge-sharing sessions, and presentations on renewable grid integration and power system studies.
Independent renewable energy consulting and engineering firm serving developers, investors, lenders, utilities, EPC contractors, and asset owners.
