About the company

CREADIS

CREADIS applies advanced technology to develop new products, processes and production equipment. We have the complete skillset to deliver mechanical, electronics, software, project management, electrical and automation projects.

Desired qualifications

We are looking for a power systems/controls engineer with specialization and more than 5 years of experience in power engineering (electrical models and EMT/RMS system simulations), electrical and grid compliance product design (inverter/turbine controls, certification) and/or power plant controls (SW design, validation) of renewable power plants (wind, photovoltaics, BESS, etc.), with focus on grid integration challenges.

You have been working for an original equipment manufacturer, a renewable energy project developer or an operator or utility.

Within power systems and/or grid integration you have knowledge/experience in one or several of the following areas:

• Renewable energy technologies

• Design and operation of generation plants (wind, PV) or consumption plants (PtX)
• Design and operation of supporting equipment (BESS, STATCOM, synchronous condenser, harmonic filters)

• Grid codes

• Requirements for power plants (generation and consumption)
• Power system design / operation under normal and abnormal conditions
• Grid connection compliance processes and deliverables

• Wind turbine design & operation

• Product development steps and processes (e.g. specifications, gate reviews)
• Turbine/inverter design and operation focused on grid compliance, code development (Matlab Simulink or PLC’s SW), version control (GIT), coding skillsets (C , C++, Fortran), testing and commissioning (SIL/HIL, field)
• Electrical models design (simplified models and/or dll integration), models benchmarking and verification/validation (international or local guidelines) in one or various EMT and RMS software’s (e.g. PSCAD, PF, PSSE, TSAT, EMTP)
• Certification according to international or local standards or test bench verification/validation

• Power plant controller (PPC) design & operation

• Grid code requirements for power plants
• Controller development (e.g. Matlab Simulink) and modes of operation (e.g. active/frequency controllers, voltage controllers …), including source code generation, version control (GIT) and development cycles under Agile methodologies
• Controller unit / system testing in SIL/HIL setups and commissioning
• Controller source code integration into electrical models

• Power system studies

• Electrical models design, models benchmarking and verification/validation (international or local guidelines) in one or various EMT and RMS software (e.g. PSCAD, PF, PSSE, TSAT, EMTP)
• Grid connection studies (e.g. fault ride-through, frequency control, voltage control, PQ/UQ capability, …)
• Plant level & power system studies (e.g steady state design, short-circuit analysis and sizing, protections and protection coordination, harmonic and harmonic stability, transient stability, small signal stability…)

From a personality point of view, we are looking for engineers with:

• Good communication skills
• Proactive and positive attitude
• Team players
• Willingness to learn and passionate about technology
• Problem solver, critical thinking and attention to details
• Time management & thrive under pressure
