Senior HVDC System Engineer

4 weeks ago

Manchester, United Kingdom Hunter Philips Executive Search Full time
Job Overview

This role will focus on operating real-time simulation equipment such as RTDS NovaCor hardware and utilizing RSCAD software to conduct testing and system studies for HVDC substations and related equipment. The successful candidate will be responsible for simulating and testing substations that connect to HVDC interconnectors for global projects, contributing to both system studies and on-site commissioning preparation.

Key Responsibilities:

Operation of Real-Time Simulation Systems:

  • Operate and manage RTDS simulation equipment to support testing of HVDC substations.
  • Translate PSCAD models into RSCAD models for real-time testing purposes.
  • Simulate and test substation equipment, including circuit breakers and control systems, for integration with HVDC networks.

System Studies and Testing:

  • Conduct system studies and simulations for the first 4-6 months of the project, followed by 12 months of running tests in the lab for various network configurations.
  • Collaborate with a team of engineers in the HV laboratory to test and simulate faults, such as overvoltage, lightning strikes, and grid connection failures, ensuring correct configuration of the equipment.

Project Delivery & Integration:

  • As a key member of the Control & Protection team, participate in the delivery of three parallel HVDC projects across the French, US, and UK markets.
  • Work closely with the Local Integration Test Manager to ensure seamless execution of over 1,000 tests, from laboratory simulations to on-site commissioning.

Lab & Test Field Operations:

  • Operate in the HV laboratory, working with high-voltage generators, insulators, and control cubicles to simulate real-world electrical conditions.
  • Monitor and measure outcomes of voltage and current injections into the systems, reporting results using GitHub for tracking and bug identification.
  • Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Pre-FAT processes for global projects.
