• Provide technical support to create subcontractors and power equipment bid packages.
• Design and implement methodologies, templates, and libraries that provide the most accurate cost estimates with the least amount of engineering effort for a given customer scope.
• Develop and implement control and protection schemes for substation systems, including engineering BOQ, drawings, calculations, and technical specifications for both tender and execution stages.
• Responsible for technical proposal accuracy including technical specifications & clarifications/ assumptions/ exceptions, quantifying design and deliverables, installation work scope definition, cost allocation, bill of materials, and estimation of engineering, installation and testing/commissioning based on customer specifications and/or industry standards (IEEE, NESC, ANSI, NEMA, IEC, etc.), sourcing, and historical data.
• Deploy Engineering tools (CAD, PDM/DMS) as per project requirements.
• Performing PSSE/PSCAD and PSSE/RSCAD Power system network conversion, modelling, and verification, Prepare RSCAD model and perform study on Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) model FACTS project.
• Protection coordination design and validation, control, protection, and sequencing strategy specifications, parameters tuning to meet grid stability criteria specified in customer technical specifications.
• Collaborate with other functions to integrate control and protection systems into overall project designs.
• Plant modelling in various simulation tools (MATLAB, RSCAD, PSCAD etc) and its verification, dynamic performance studies using both offline and online simulation tools
• Defining control system requirements for the software architecture, development, and verification
• Deliver high technical quality of GE’s proposals in LV Secondary side including processes & programs that make the proposals more accepted (compliant or clarified), effective, and cost competitive to the customer with reduced overall-performance risk.
