DC Protection Engineer For HVDC System

For our team of technical experts working on HVDC control and protection systems, we are looking for a motivated engineer (f/m/d) for the DC protection and measurement system.

Measurement systemwe ensure among other things that all measured values in the HVDC are collected, preprocessed, and sent according to the requirements of the receivers - (converter) control, regulation, DC protection.

DC protection systemthe base for the DC protection concept of the whole HVDC system is designed during our investigations and parametrizations. We create a technical optimal solution for the challenges of the energy transition for our customers. We parametrize the DC protection functions with analytical and simulative methods, extensive protection coordination studies, we adapt the software and integrate our solution in the hardware of our systems in the testing area. The mentioned points are part of your work as well as the collaboration and coordination with other teams to achieve the best solution for our customer.

We work in the analysis and solution of complex system engineering problems, ensuring system stability and security, and in the implementation of new features and protection strategies as needed. Furthermore, there is the opportunity to promote cross-team cooperation within the HVDC area through trainings, workshops, continuous improvement, or digitalization topics and to help to shape it by yourself. In addition, we help you if you have the wish to participate in the commissioning of your project.

Your new role – challenging and future- oriented:

- Responsibility from the offer over the engineering phase, performance, and customer acceptance tests as well as support during the plant commissioning to handover the system to the customer
- Support in the creation of the DC protection concepts for self-guided multilevel converters with half-bridge modules for different applications
- Performance of DC protection coordination studies for HVDC systems, including the
- Determination of DC protection settings and preparation of the study documentation
- Contribution to the programming of the software for DC protection and measurement systems in Matlab/Simulink.
- Performing functional and performance testsmodel-based testing (MBT) in SIMULINK and hardware in the loop (HiL) with real-time simulation systems (RTDS)
- Support in research and development topics for HVDC projects
- Collaboration and coordination with other teams of the HVDC area (for example system design, studies, control) for the multifunctional optimization and development of complex HVDC overall systems.
