Power System Engineer at RLC Engineering in Hallowell, Maine, United States Job Description Power System Engineer
This position involves performing power system analysis and transmission and distribution system planning work in accordance with relevant industry standards, including IEEE, NY-ISO, NEC and NFPA. The incumbent will operate various power system analysis software tools required for performing power system engineering studies and assessments. The role also includes manipulating power system databases and establishing power flow base cases for load-flow, short-circuit, and dynamic stability modeling in both transmission and distribution planning. The position involves using basic and complex power system calculation methodologies, terminologies, and techniques, as well as the application of advanced mathematical techniques, including differential equations, linear algebra and statistical methods in power system analysis.

Essential Functions of Position:

1. Perform Power System Engineering Study and Assessment Duties
2. Apply knowledge and proficiency in software tools such as PSS/E, PSLF, PSCAD, CYME, and ASPEN to conduct power system engineering studies using. Areas of analysis include load flow for thermal and voltage assessment, fault studies for short circuit assessments, transients for switching studies, and dynamics for transient and steady-state stability assessment.
3. Apply knowledge of power system planning, design, and operation.
4. Prepare and review written reports that explain the purpose, methodology, data requirements, recommendations, and observations of power system engineering studies and assessments.
5. Conduct detailed analyses of three-phase power systems, including load flow, short circuit, stability and reliability studies.
6. Utilize per-unit system modeling techniques for accurate power system analysis and simulation. Analyze results and develop conclusions on power system design problems in both transmission and distribution.
7. Design and evaluate power distribution systems to ensure efficient and reliable delivery of electrical power, to include assessments of existing distribution systems in order to recommend improvements.
8. Analyze the impact of distributed generation and renewable energy sources on power distribution networks.
9. Evaluate system stability, damping and transient performance using advanced simulation tools.
10. Keep the department manager informed of the status of all projects relative to pre-established expectations and meet with clients as needed.
11. Ability to work independently and with others while maintaining a high level of initiative and self-motivation. Multiple openings. If interested, please send resume and cover letter to Janna Watt at jannaw@rlc-eng.
