and many specialized in-house tools. Our team also has deep experience with voltage control and reactive planning issues as well as the tools and procedures that are most effective in studying them. We perform detailed steady state, voltage and transient stability studies of regional transmission systems, generation interconnections, and renewable generation impacts, as well as specialized studies of sub-synchronous resonance and torsional interaction.

As a member of the Consulting Services Grid Integration and Stability - Renewable Energy team, the successful candidate will be an active contributor to the GE Vernova business initiatives related to power systems and power electronics equipment and services.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Perform technical analysis related to power electronic and power systems control of renewable generation, battery energy storage systems, large industrial drives and FACTS.

• Support customers with power systems engineering expertise; including modeling, analysis, equipment design and specification, and failure mode analysis

• Create, modify and parametrize simulation models representing GE Vernova products like wind turbines, solar inverters, battery storage

• Evaluate grid code compliance and impact of renewable projects in bulk power systems

• Support continuous development of transmission and distribution products associated to inverter- based resources (Wind, solar and storage) for evolving codes and standards through participation in industry standards groups and leading innovative approaches to power system analysis

• Perform power system transient studies, and detailed equipment modeling using appropriate software tools

• Effectively communicate results to both internal and external customers by preparing detailed written reports or presentations describing analyses performed, solutions developed, and customer value propositions

• Enhance industry knowledge and present technical content in regional forums and conferences; serve as a thought leader in industry activities

• Actively participate in a working environment where teamwork, quality, customer service and innovation are prized

Required Qualifications

• Master's degree in electrical engineering or electric power engineering

• Six months of work/academic experience of performing transient analysis using simulation tools like ATP/EMTP, PSCAD/EMTDC, EMTP-RV, and/or performing steady state and dynamic analysis using large data base simulation tools like PSS/E, PowerFactory or PSLF
