Tasks

-Perform analytical work to define, meet or exceed customer entitlements. -Participate in the development of grid-control algorithms, from control of distributed energy resources (DERs) to provide services to the grid, to algorithms to improve the grid connection of inverters. Develop techniques to efficiently assess the impact of DERs on the grid and adapt modern distribution automation and management systems for operation with DERs. -Participate in the development and identification of new technology, product and service opportunities. -Effectively communicate results by preparing written reports and making presentations describing analyses performed, solutions developed, and value obtained. -Connect the organization to the latest technology developments and trends. -Participate in the creation of simulation models for grid configurations and grid assets and perform different types of simulations (direct sequence, EMT, etc.). -Develop algorithms and solutions to improve grid resiliency against cyber-physical disruptions. -Shaping of new proposal areas with GE Vernova businesses as well as multiple government agencies, universities and national laboratories. Contribute and lead proposal teams as Principal Investigators or as a team member. Participate in business technology and strategy meetings. -Participate in IP assessments and demonstrate awareness of competing and disruptive technologies. -Work with other Research teams to explore applications of power systems which can impact GE Vernova products like Energy Management System, Distributed Energy Resource Management System, Market Management System etc. -Work independently as well as guide development of new technologies and capabilities for GE's power generation, transmission, distribution and end-user product offerings by analyzing system requirements and needs to be translated into existing and new products. -Transmission or distribution system planning and optimization -Lead multi-disciplinary project teams and provide power system analysis expertise in areas such as real-time modeling, simulation, network modeling, system analysis, protection, transient stability analysis, grid codes, economic dispatch, HVDC/FACTS, etc. -Lead technology development in a wide range of areas including the integration of renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar, WAMS, HVDC, distribution automation, power system protection, and microgrids. Many of these project collaborations are required within the internal organization by actively working on system related aspects with the electrical machines, power electronics, and electrical propulsion and energy storage teams.
