North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) is an organization dedicated to ensuring the reliability and security of the North American bulk power system. NERC develops and enforces reliability standards, conducts assessments and analysis of power system performance, and oversees compliance within the electricity sector. Its mission is to effectively manage and reduce risks to the reliability and security of the electric grid across Canada and the United States.

📋 Description

• Perform power system reliability studies (power flow, transient stability, electromagnetic transient, short-circuit, etc.) to conduct assessments of BPS reliability, resilience, and security. • Conduct assessments and develop recommendations for industry action to ensure interconnection-wide model quality. • Support NERC’s risk mitigation strategy related to the reliable and resilient operation of the North American BPS by assessing impacts of emerging risks to the BPS such as evolving changes to resource mix, grid transformation, extreme events, cyber and physical security threats, critical infrastructure interdependencies. • Engage collaboratively with industry stakeholders to support proactive risk mitigation of emerging key risks to the BPS. • Study the impacts to BPS reliability with increasing levels of BPS-connected inverter-based resources, distributed energy resources, and other emerging technologies. • Engage and work with industry experts to develop recommended practices in this area. • Support cross-departmental initiatives related to event analysis, reliability risk management, reliability assessments, performance analysis, and standards development. • Support NERC’s efforts to develop resilience metrics with industry and perform studies related to BPS resilience. • Provide engineering support to efforts to integrate cyber and physical security into conventional engineering utility practices (planning, design, operations, restoration, etc.). • Coordinate and lead NERC and other industry stakeholder groups in an effective and efficient manner that provides a safe, inclusive, and diverse environment. • Prepare engineering analysis, studies, and assessments on BPS reliability issues and develop reports, guidelines, or other technical documents to support NERC initiatives. • Engage with engineering experts across different facets of industry to provide technical support, guidance, and engagement in support of NERC’s mission. • Other duties, as assigned.

🎯 Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree in a related field and equivalent work experience of 5 to 10 years. • Experience working with power system models and simulation tools; ability to independently conduct power system studies and develop reports of key findings and recommendations. • Experience assessing the BPS reliability impacts of inverter-based resources, distributed energy resources, changing load composition, and other emerging technologies. • Understanding of power system fundamentals such as frequency control, balancing, ramping, voltage control, stability, inverter controls, and operation of the BPS. • Understanding of power system relaying, communications, substation topology, and data transfer. • Ability to lead stakeholder groups in an effective, efficient, and inclusive manner. • Excellent oral and written communication skills, including the ability to prepare and publish technical reports and other documents on security-related topics. • Strong expertise and experience developing or assessing steady-state and dynamic models of BPS components. • Strong understanding of the drivers of the energy transition, and ability to lead initiatives to ensure reliable operation of the BPS under this rapid change. • Experience coordinating teams of industry experts on power system reliability, planning, modeling, or study-related topics. • Experience or understanding of ways in which cyber and physical security practices can be integrated more effectively with engineering practices. • Experience and strong understanding of NERC Reliability Standards. • A master’s degree or higher education in power system engineering with specialization in the areas of modeling, studies, and emerging technologies is preferred.
