    Power System Engineer - Control Software

    Company

    Vestas

    Description

    Are you ready to work in a very innovative environment in the industry of wind energy?

    Power Solutions & Vestas Quality > Applications, Controls & Electrical > PPC Controls

    PPC Controls is an R&D organisation and part of Vestas Power Solutions (VPS). Our primary focus within PPC Controls is to bridge the requirements of Transmission Systems Operators (TSO) with the capabilities of our Hybrid Power Plant controller. This involves the development of sophisticated control algorithms to enhance the functionality of our Power Plant controller to meet stringent grid code requirements.

    Our responsibilities extend to the design of Grid connection offerings in alignment with emerging market demands and the ancillary services market (for example FCR, FFR among others). Our team comprises professionals, showcasing a rich diversity in skill sets, seniority levels, and ethnic backgrounds. Upholding the Vestas values of Accountability, Collaboration, Simplicity, and Passion, we have cultivated a culture that aspires to achieve high standards.

    As a global team, our engineers are based in Denmark and Portugal. We maintain a close collaboration with our counterparts in Chennai, India, as well as throughout our value chain. This collaborative approach ensures effective project delivery, reflecting our commitment to quality.

    Responsibilities

  • Design control algorithms for complex industrial applications and validate their performance.
  • Exhibit good knowledge of software design and implementation, coupled with a solid understanding of electrical grids and power systems.• Design and implement control functionalities for power plant control using model-based design with MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Proficient in using Linear Control Design tools such as Bode, Nyquist, Kalman, root locus.
  • Familiar with basic concepts of Optimal Control, Model-Predictive Control & System Identification.
  • Conduct verification of plant-level electrical performance in simulation environments such as Simulink Test/PSCAD and in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test setups.
  • Assume a technical lead role in software development projects, applying V-model and agile project management principles.

    Be careful about job portal scam

    Our jobs portal is fully automated and finds daily new job opportunities related to the companies listed on EVE Score.

    Please remember that we do not endorse any websites related to these jobs opportunities and stay alerts to avoid scams.


    A few reminders:

    - Never, ever pay anything to apply for a job. Companies should be the one paying, not you
    - Never agree to buy equipment in order to start a job - this includes buying a laptop, work from home equipment
    - Never agree to pay for mandatory training to onboard for a new position (even if they say that they will reimburse you for later)
    - If the recruiter sends you an email from a domain that is different from the company website, ask them to communicate with you via email belonging to the company. Stay away from Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo or domain that looks close to the company they are portraying
    - Don’t give personal information during the application process - social security number, bank account, home address, date of birth - this could be used to target you through a social engineering attack later on
    - Don’t complete a project for free. Many companies might ask you to get through a test, that’s one thing. But less scrupulous companies will actually ask you to deliver a project for free
