Control and Protection Engineer
Responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining control systems and protection schemes for wind turbines, substations, and grid connections. They ensure the stability, safety, and reliability of electrical power systems by developing protection relays, configuring SCADA systems, and analyzing grid compliance. This role involves performing fault analysis, coordinating with grid operators, and optimizing system performance to prevent power failures and equipment damage. Their expertise is essential in ensuring seamless integration of offshore wind energy into the power grid while maintaining operational efficiency.
Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong knowledge of protection relay systems, grid codes, and high-voltage transmission networks.
• Proficiency in simulation and analysis tools such as PSCAD, ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, and MATLAB/Simulink.
Additional Requirements:
• Experience with SCADA systems, industrial communication protocols (IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus), and automation controls.
• Familiarity with offshore electrical infrastructure, including substations and inter-array cable protection.
• Offshore safety certifications (e.g., GWO Basic Safety Training) may be required.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in offshore environments with multidisciplinary teams.
