Requisition: 82581
PSEG Company: PSEG Long Island
Salary Range: $ 121,200 - $ 199,200
Work Location Category: Hybrid
Job SummaryThis position requires performing electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies for the LIPA transmission system by integrating applicable models for inverter based resources/HVDC/FACTS devices by using PSCAD, or other EMT simulation models. This position also develops in-house capability to create applicable EMT models that are required for the analysis. Adequate training and learning opportunities will be provided to develop solid electromagnetic transient skills that is critical to evaluate transient performance of the integrated power system.
Job Responsibilities- Utilizing fundamental principles of power system to perform engineering analysis
- Develop in-house capability for the development of Electromagnetic transient models and implement a process to organize, review, and maintain model updates and associated documentation, clearly describing steps to setup the model, available parameters accessible to the end user, and available outputs that are needed for various planning studies
- Develop and implement model validation practices and steps to ensure the validity and accuracy of EMT models
- Perform complex electromagnetic transient studies involving transmission and/or distribution system on an as needed basis
- Perform various transient studies for interconnecting resources, large loads and devices, such as inverter based resources or HVDC/FACTS devices, as required. Examples of such studies include, but are not limited to, dynamic performance studies, harmonic performance studies, sub-synchronous torsional interaction studies, large load performance study, control system interaction study, temporary overvoltage study etc.
- Utilize applicable EMT study models to assess potential solutions to meet system performance requirements Collaborate with Transmission and Distribution Planning and provide applicable support to both groups in the EMT study areas
- Ensure compliance with applicable North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability standards by performing applicable EMT studies. Evaluate proposed / new NERC Standards and continuously monitor for upcoming changes to existing NERC Standards
- Support EMT training for planning engineers
- Engage with technical consultants to gain understanding of the transient performance of the transmission system and associated interaction with various synchronous and non-synchronous resources
- Actively participate with working groups, universities and other utilities to understand fundamental control concepts of resources
- Research and collaborate with industry experts to identify and implement best EMT modeling and study practices
- Develop methodology/approach to successfully model and interpret analysis utilizing PSCAD or other EMT simulation tools
- Demonstrate clear understanding of control, design and performance of IBR, HVDC,FACTS devices and performance of large load under different scenarios
- Understanding of control concepts as applied to PWM and MMC voltage - source converter
Job Specific Qualifications- B.S. in Electrical Engineering
- Minimum of 8 years experience in Power Systems industry with 3 of those years in Power System Analysis (Transmission Planning, Transmission Protection Engineering etc.) with an ability to run load flow studies and an understanding of stability and fault duty concepts
- Desire to handle challenging projects and the ability to quickly come up to speed is essential. Desire to learn new concepts and attention to details is critical to be successful in this position
- Must have the understanding of the practical electrical characteristics of power system equipment beyond their fundamental-frequency parameters and also on fundamental control concepts
- Must have excellent interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills as well as ability to travel to attend meetings/conferences/trainings on and off Long Island as required
- Compliance with the Department of Energy's regulation 10 CFR 810 is required
Desired- Experience applying EMT software tools for analysis of inverter-based resources, HVDC, or FACTS devices Experience in the conversion of PSS/E data to transient models in an EMT platform
- A Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering or PE License
Some positions at PSEG require access to information covered by the Department of Energy's regulation 10 CFR 810 (Part 810). If applicable, the successful applicant must prove they are: (1) a citizen or national of the USA; OR (2) a lawful permanent resident of the United States (Non-Conditional Permanent I-551 / Green Card / Permanent Resident Card holder); OR (3) a citizen, national, or permanent resident of a "Generally Authorized" destination on the attached list and not also a citizen, national, permanent resident of any country not listed; OR (4) a "Protected Individual" under the Immigration and Naturalization Act (8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3)).
As an employee of PSEG Long Island, you should be aware that during storm/outage restoration efforts, you may be required to perform functions different from normal operations and work extended hours beyond your regular work schedule. You may also be required to work on premise or in an alternate location as directed by the company.
For all roles, PSEGLI's drug and alcohol testing program includes pre-employment testing, testing for cause, and post-incident/accident testing.
Employees who are hired or transfer into a federally regulated role (including positions covered by USDOT, PHMSA, or NRC regulations) are subject to random drug and alcohol testing, inclusive of marijuana. Although numerous states throughout the country have legalized marijuana/cannabis products recreationally and medically, the use of these products are prohibited for employees in federally regulated roles. Please note that the use of CBD products may result in a positive drug test for THC/Marijuana and such use is not a legitimate medical explanation for a positive result.
If you are a current PSEG employee and offered an opportunity with PSEG Long Island, you will be treated as a new hire. Please note that as a new hire to the Long Island subsidiary, your benefits will change and generally will be consistent with other similarly situated PSEG Long Island new hires. Similarly, for PSEG Long Island employees who accept job opportunities with PSEG or any of its subsidiaries (other than PSEG Long Island), their benefits will change and generally be consistent with other similarly situated new hires of that company.
