📋 Description

• Develop and configure project-specific RTDS and RSCAD models for utility-scale solar, BESS, and hybrid power plants. • Translate electrical one-lines, control narratives, interconnection requirements, equipment data, and project specifications into real-time simulation models. • Build and validate plant-level models for active power, reactive power, voltage control, frequency response, ramp-rate control, curtailment, and grid support functions. • Develop and maintain reusable RSCAD model libraries, templates, and project standards. • Develop, review, and validate PSCAD models to support project-specific studies, controls validation, and grid compliance requirements. • Support model alignment between PSCAD and RTDS/RSCAD environments. • Work with inverter OEMs, BESS OEMs, and internal engineering teams to validate control behavior and model assumptions. • Set up project-specific Hardware-in-the-Loop environments using RTDS and physical control hardware. • Integrate PPCs, EMS controllers, RTACs, relays, gateways, SCADA servers, network switches, firewalls, and communication interfaces into the HIL environment. • Validate controls performance under normal operating conditions, grid disturbances, curtailment scenarios, plant trips, communication failures, and recovery events.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Controls Engineering, or a related technical field. • 5+ years of experience with PSCAD, RSCAD, RTDS, or real-time power system simulation. • Hands-on experience setting up Hardware-in-the-Loop environments for project-specific validation. • Strong understanding of power systems, inverter-based resources, utility-scale solar, BESS, hybrid plants, and plant-level controls. • Experience developing and validating PSCAD and RSCAD models. • Experience integrating physical controllers, RTACs, relays, gateways, SCADA systems, or network devices into simulation environments. • Familiarity with PPC, EMS, SCADA, inverter controls, substation automation, and plant controller validation. • Experience with industrial communication protocols such as DNP3, Modbus TCP, IEC 61850, OPC UA, or similar protocols. • Ability to read and interpret electrical one-lines, network diagrams, control narratives, points lists, equipment data sheets, and interconnection requirements. • Strong troubleshooting skills across models, controls, communication networks, and physical hardware. • Strong documentation, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
