At WSP, you can always find opportunities to grow and do what matters to you. Make the most of our global reach to discover new challenges and chances to work with diverse, talented individuals who will help you expand your horizons.
With your help we can become a leader in the energy transition to net zero with the adoption of innovative technologies, renewables and the transformation of existing assets on the journey to a decarbonised society.
A little bit more about your role:
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Electromagnetic Transients (EMT) Studies Expert to join our high-performing Power Systems Consulting team. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in analysing and improving the transient performance of power systems, ensuring the stability, reliability, and resilience of electrical grids. This individual will provide expert-level insights into the integration of renewable energy sources, HVDC systems, and FACTS devices, and will conduct detailed simulations and assessments to support critical operational and planning decisions.
The types of work delivered within the Power Systems Simulation team currently include:
- Model and simulate the performance of renewable energy sources (e.g., wind, solar) and converter-based systems (e.g., HVDC, STATCOM, SVC) including their control systems to assess their impact on the grid.
- Develop models for EMT simulations based on real-world data and equipment specifications, ensuring accurate representation of grid components.
- Conduct EMT simulations for power systems using PSCAD to analyse system behaviour under transient conditions.
- Perform detailed electromagnetic transient studies, such as switching and fault studies, equipment energisation, TRV/ZMP studies, insulation coordination studies and others with the aim evaluate the system's transient response and complement equipment design.
- Analyse voltage transients, switching overvoltages, and lightning surges, providing recommendations for equipment protection and system improvements.
- Lead or participate in grid compliance studies (especially EMT), ensuring that generation and transmission projects meet regulatory and technical standards.
What we will be looking for you to demonstrate:
- Previous experience in grid integration of renewables, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and smart grid technologies.
- Knowledge of national grid codes and standards (e.g., Grid Code, ENTSO-E, NERC, CIGRE).
- Knowledge of grid-forming technology and the different control architectures and implementations.
Don't quite meet all the criteria? Apply, and we can see how your experience aligns to this role and other opportunities within the team.
