  • Electrical Sizing: Calculate cable sizing, inverter sizing, protection devices, earthing, and lightning protection.
  • Compliance: Ensure designs follow IEC/IS codes, CEA regulations, DISCOM/CEIG requirements, and net-metering policies.
  • BOQ Preparation: Prepare bills of quantities and technical specifications for procurement.
  • Site Assessment: Conduct site visits, evaluate feasibility, and optimize system design based on available area, tilt, and shading.
  • Coordination: Work with EPC teams, contractors, and clients for design approvals and execution.
  • Performance Analysis: Monitor system performance post-installation and suggest improvements.
  • Substation Layout Design: Develop physical layouts, equipment arrangement (transformers, breakers, isolators, busbars, control rooms).
  • Single Line Diagram (SLD) & Schematics: Prepare electrical schematics, protection schemes, interlocking, and control wiring diagrams.
  • Equipment Sizing & Specification: Select and size transformers, CT/PTs, circuit breakers, surge arresters, isolators, earthing, and cabling.
  • Protection & Control Systems: Design protection relays, SCADA systems, metering, and automation systems.
  • Grounding & Earthing: Design earthing systems as per IEEE/IS standards, step and touch potential calculations.
  • Short-Circuit & Load Flow Studies: Perform studies using ETAP, DIgSILENT, or PSCAD to validate protection and equipment ratings.
  • Compliance & Standards: Ensure designs adhere to IEC, IEEE, IS, CEA, and utility/grid codes.
  • Civil/Structural Coordination: Coordinate with civil team for foundations, cable trenches, and structural drawings.
  • Documentation & Approvals: Prepare detailed engineering documents, technical specifications, and liaise with utility/consultant for approvals.
  • Testing & Commissioning Support: Assist site teams during erection, testing, and commissioning.

Skills Required:

  • Strong knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals.
  • Proficiency in PV design software (PVsyst, Helioscope, AutoCAD, ETAP optional).
