•Modeling of Battery Energy Storage Systems; these models will be used to perform steady state, dynamic, transient and frequency domain simulations.

•Preparing and reviewing engineering deliverables including complex reports and presentations.

•Perform Steady State simulations to evaluate compliance to requirements related to: Short Circuit, PQ capability, Voltage limits, overloading of equipment, other simulations in the steady state domain.

•Perform Dynamic simulations (RMS) to evaluate compliance to requirements such as FRT, voltage stability, frequency stability, other simulations in the dynamic domain.

•Perform Power Quality studies to evaluate compliance to requirements such as harmonic, flicker and voltage change. Should have sound knowledge on harmonic modeling of various power system components.

•Working experience with power quality related IEEE standards such as IEEE 519 and IEEE 2800.

•Perform filter sizing analysis to meet compliance requirements to harmonic emissions

•Simulate and evaluate grid behaviour of the connected BESS using power systems analysis software with emphasis on full system integration, control and model validation

•Support modelling requirements and activities in the Asia-Pacific region

•Conduct internal review and quality checks of engineering models and calculations to ensure compliance with the project's requirements.

Required Skills

Fluence is defined by its unwavering commitment to safety, quality, and integrity. We take personal ownership in what we do, developing trust in our relationships with internal and external stakeholders. We firmly believe in having honest, forthcoming, and fair communications.

Requirements for this position are:

Master's Degree in electrical engineering with emphasis on power systems or renewable energy systems and/or 4-7 years of work experience
Experienced in simulating and evaluating power converter systems with knowledge of power system issues (e.g. FRT behaviour) and interaction between power electronics and power system equipment
Proficient in power system analysis and control simulation tools (e.g., PSS®E, PowerFactory, PSCAD/EMTDC)
Strong programming skills in Python, Fortran, C++ etc.
Knowledge of utility grid interconnection standards, such as UL/IEEE standards, North American ISO/RTO requirements, European grid codes
Knowledge of “grid-forming” inverters is a plus
