Design Engineer -LP Statcom Senior

Mission statement:
You will be involved into the design process for STATCOM converter and other electronics converters in future applicable, start from idea generation through simulation, circuit design, prototyping all the way to verification.

Your responsibilities:

• As a project engineer for power quality solutions, you will need to do thorough and structured with a high technical interest and strive for good solutions within the set time limits. You will be responsible for STATCOM (SVG) related project engineering execution, as well as assisting with tendering and supporting site commissioning.

• You will take responsibility for specification, selection, qualification and verification of converters, passive component, and protection concepts, build up and maintain measurement and test setups to verify performance, efficiency, and robustness.

• You will be specifying/calculating main components parameters of the power quality system equipment such as main busbar, circuit breaker, disconnectors, CT, PT, surge arrestors, capacitor, reactor, Valves & Cooling and alike, establishing equipment requirement specifications for sub suppliers, based on input from the system design studies above. Verifying supplier technical documents and equipment testing requirements.

• You will be involved in Insulation coordination study and specify the design basis of the main components for the STATCOM system, short-circuit currents study for different fault locations for the STATCOM system and developing the protection coordination report, specifying the STATCOM Control Strategy and Operation Modes for specified project, establishing the station main circuit single line diagram and protection block diagrams.

• You will be developing the acceptance performance test procedure as per the requirement in the contract and guiding commissioning team to conduct the acceptance performance testing.

• You will as STATCOM design engineer also take the lead engineer role on low to medium complexity STATCOM projects and shall be efficiently cooperating with every cross-function interface, make sure the understanding of each other’s need.

• Living Hitachi Energy's core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.

Your background:

• Bachelor or above degree in relevant area of Engineering in Power System and Power Electronics.

• Minimum 5 to10 years of relevant work experience.

• Experience of power system simulation tools such as PSSE, EMTDC/PSCAD and calculations in MATLAB / Mathcad.

• Should have good knowledge about the application of Power Electronics on STATCOM (SVG) / Power Quality Solution project, Power Systems equipment and their purpose, such as Power Transformers, Capacitors, Reactors, Instrument Transformer and measuring equipment, Circuit Breakers, Disconnector, Surge Arrester, Valves & Cooling, etc.

• Knowledge in selection, sizing and integration of above equipment based on customer functional specification.

• Preferably knowledge on GB/IEC/IEEE standards and knowledge of relay configuration is a benefit.

• Knowledge of Low Voltage switchgear selection, configuration, and circuit breaker selective coordination.

• Strong interpersonal communication skill, Fluent English.
