Power System Analysis Engineer

The Opportunity
In this role you would be working within a dynamic team comprising some of New Zealand's top Electrical Engineering specialists. You would primarily be focused on undertaking a range of challenging projects so familiarity with the New Zealand transmission and distribution systems and an appreciation for the key relationships between major industry stakeholders will be required.
The role will focus on:

• Project evaluation, scoping, specification and quoting;
• Engineering of solutions for generation aspects of the power system;
• Modelling and analysis of the power system, with knowledge of the following techniques:
  o load-flow and short circuit assessment.
  o analytic techniques, including PV and QV analysis, for determination of power system limits.
  o dynamic RMS simulations, for transient and voltage stability.
  o generator control systems modelling, including AVR, PSS, OEL, UEL and speed governors.
  o knowledge of scripting techniques (for instance Python), within industry standard tools, such as PSS/E and PowerFactory, would be an advantage.
  o experience in the use of Siemens PSS/E and DIgSILENT PowerFactory, to undertake system studies, would be highly advantageous.
