Full Job Description

Immediate need of power system engineer. Requires a bachelor’s degree and in support of all aspects of transmission studies on power flow, voltage stability, transient stability and other power system analyses. Familiar with PSS/E or TARA. Preference will be given to candidates with Ph.D. Or master’s degree in Power Systems. Remote position available for Senior experience. Other will be given priority if interested and able to work in Canada with relocation to be considered.

Responsibilities

Will perform power system analysis for 138 kV and above transmission system, including power flow, voltage stability, transient stability and short circuit analyses.

Will prepare steady state, short circuit and dynamic models

Will support senior engineer in preparing technical reports.

Will offer technical consultations and oversee the process of new generationinterconnection requests throughout the planning cycle.

•Will conduct and review system impact studies, analyzing steady-state load flow and transient stability performance, as well as performing reactive planning, Load Interconnection studies, and mitigation planning.

•Will use use PSS/e and TARA to conduct voltage ride-through and critical clearing time analysis for generator interconnection studies related to upcoming renewable
