Senior Transmission Planning Engineer

Description

• Perform transmission system studies for networks operating at 138 kV and above, including power flow, short-circuit, and dynamic stability analyses.
• Provide technical guidance and support for generator interconnection requests throughout the planning process.
• Assist senior engineers in preparing technical documentation and reports.
• Utilize tools such as PSS®E and TARA for generator interconnection studies, including voltage ride-through and critical clearing time assessments for renewable projects.
• Develop and maintain steady-state, short-circuit, and dynamic models.
• Conduct and review system impact studies, including load flow, transient stability, reactive planning, and mitigation strategies.
