Description

  • Develop and configure project-specific RTDS and RSCAD models for utility-scale solar, BESS, and hybrid power plants.
  • Translate one-lines, control narratives, interconnection requirements, equipment data, and project specifications into real-time simulation models.
  • Build and validate plant-level models for power, voltage, frequency, ramp-rate, curtailment, and grid support functions.
  • Develop and maintain reusable RSCAD model libraries, templates, and project standards.
  • Develop, review, and validate PSCAD models for studies, controls validation, and grid compliance.
  • Align PSCAD models with RTDS/RSCAD environments and validate control behavior with OEMs and internal teams.
  • Set up Hardware-in-the-Loop environments using RTDS and physical control hardware.
  • Integrate PPCs, EMS controllers, RTACs, relays, gateways, SCADA servers, network devices, and communication interfaces into HIL setups.
  • Configure I/O mapping, signal routing, protocol interfaces, and controller communication paths.
  • Develop and execute HIL test plans, procedures, acceptance criteria, and validation reports.
  • Troubleshoot model, controller, communication, network, and simulation issues during setup and testing.
  • Replicate field issues in the HIL environment to support commissioning, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions.
  • Collaborate with engineering, commissioning, IT/OT, product, vendors, OEMs, and customer-facing teams on project delivery and technical discussions.
  • Contribute to standard HIL delivery processes, test automation roadmap, and quality improvement initiatives.

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.
  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or Controls Engineering is preferred.
  • Experience with RTDS NovaCor, RSCAD FX, GTNET, GTFPGA, or similar RTDS hardware/software platforms is preferred.
  • Experience with OPAL-RT, Typhoon HIL, Speedgoat, or other real-time simulation platforms is preferred.
  • Experience with SEL RTACs, SEL relays, SEL-3555, Schweitzer controllers, Ignition SCADA, or similar control platforms is preferred.
  • Experience with IEEE 2800, NERC, ERCOT, CAISO, PJM, or other utility interconnection and grid compliance requirements is preferred.
  • Experience with inverter OEM and BESS OEM models is preferred.
  • Experience creating automated HIL test scripts, reusable test libraries, and validation templates is preferred.
  • Experience supporting FAT, SAT, commissioning, or field troubleshooting for renewable energy projects is preferred.
  • Experience with Python, MATLAB/Simulink, scripting, or test automation tools is preferred.
