ABOUT THE POSITION 

Fluence is looking for a Senior Power Systems and Grid Modelling Engineer with experience in simulation of electrical power systems and modelling of network components including power electronics. This position is within the Product and Technology Team and will focus on power systems modeling of Fluence Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), particularly the major components of the inverters and the Fluence control system.

Your responsibilities will include:

•Modeling of Battery Energy Storage Systems; these models will be used to perform steady state, dynamic, transient and frequency domain simulations.

•Perform Steady State simulations to evaluate compliance to requirements related to: Short Circuit, PQ capability, Voltage limits, overloading of equipment, other simulations in the steady state domain.

•Perform Dynamic simulations (RMS) to evaluate compliance to requirements such as FRT, voltage stability, frequency stability, other simulations in the dynamic domain.

•Perform Transient simulations (EMT) to evaluate compliance to requirements such as FRT, voltage stability, frequency stability, other simulations in the transient domain.

•Perform Power Quality studies to evaluate compliance to requirements such as harmonic, flicker and voltage change.

•Simulate and evaluate grid behaviour of the connected BESS using power systems analysis software with emphasis on full system integration, control and model validation

•Preparing and reviewing engineering deliverables including complex reports and presentations. 

•Conduct internal review and quality checks of engineering models and calculations to ensure compliance with the project's requirements.

•Working with stakeholders (internal, customer, consultant, regulatory etc.) to ensure grid connections are achieved end-to-end in a timely manner, including attending meetings and providing progress reports.

•Support modelling requirements and activities for Fluence BESS projects across the globe
