Power Systems Engineer – EMT Studies (APAC)

Validate EMT models against manufacturer documentation, test reports or engineering expectations to ensure technically credible simulation results.

Investigate numerical convergence issues, control interactions, oscillations and unexpected EMT simulation behaviour, identify root causes, and develop technically justified solutions.

Integrate, adapt and validate manufacturer-supplied EMT models while ensuring consistency with study objectives and network representation.

Grid integration s converter-based resources Contribute to grid integration studies involving inverter-based resources (IBR) and HVDC technologies Assess system impacts of converter-based resources and support identification of technical risks and mitigation measures
