Energy Modelling information

What is energy modelling?

Energy modelling is the process of creating mathematical representations of energy systems to analyze their performance, efficiency, and environmental impact. It is commonly used in building design, urban planning, and energy policy to predict future energy consumption, optimize system design, and evaluate the potential of renewable energy sources. Energy modellers use specialized software to simulate factors like heating, cooling, lighting, and equipment usage, helping stakeholders make informed decisions about energy management and sustainability.

What is the difference between Energy Modelling vs Energy Analyst?

AspectEnergy ModellingEnergy Analyst
Required CredentialsDegree in engineering, environmental science, or related field; certifications like LEED AP or energy modeling software trainingDegree in similar fields; certifications may include energy auditing or data analysis
Work EnvironmentTypically in engineering firms, consulting companies, or energy agencies; focused on technical modelingIn corporate, government, or consulting settings; involves data analysis and reporting
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by engineers, consultants, and architects for building performance and energy efficiency projectsEmployed by energy companies, government agencies, and consultancies for energy management and policy analysis

While both roles involve energy data, Energy Modelling focuses on creating detailed simulations of energy systems, whereas Energy Analysts interpret data to inform decisions. The roles often overlap but differ mainly in technical depth and scope.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an energy modeller, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Energy Modeller, you need a solid background in engineering, mathematics, or environmental science, along with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Familiarity with energy modelling software such as EnergyPlus, eQUEST, or IES VE, and knowledge of relevant certifications like LEED or ASHRAE standards are typically required. Attention to detail, effective communication, and the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams are essential soft skills. These competencies are critical for accurately predicting energy performance, optimizing building efficiency, and meeting sustainability goals.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in energy modelling roles, and how can they be addressed?

Energy modelling professionals often encounter challenges such as handling large and complex datasets, ensuring the accuracy of input assumptions, and adapting models to new technologies or regulatory requirements. Collaborating closely with engineers, architects, and policymakers is essential to gather reliable data and keep models relevant. Staying current with industry software, continuous learning, and participating in professional networks can help address these challenges and improve model robustness.

  • Design and implement embedded control systems for power factor correction (PFC), grid-tie, grid-forming inverters, bidirectional chargers, DC/DC converters, and related power electronics.
  • Stay updated on advancements in digital control technologies and controllers.
  • Validate design concepts through both computer simulations and hands-on laboratory testing.
  • Create automated test cases for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) modelling and testing, where applicable.
  • Perform board bring-up activities and develop device drivers for communication protocols such as CAN, I2C, and SPI.
  • Contribute to specification development, participate in design reviews, and carry out unit testing.
  • Ensure a thorough understanding of safety and regulatory requirements for power converters used in fast charging applications.
  • Guarantee compliance with relevant regulatory and safety standards, including UL, IEC, and SAE.
Requirements
  • 6+ years of proven experience developing Power Electronics products
  • 6+ years of programming experience in C/C++, Assembly for 32-bit controllers, DSP, and Python for scripting and automation
  • Demonstrated experience implementing control code for power converters without relying on code generation tools.
  • Strong experience in designing controllers (such as PI, PR, droop, etc.), modelling, and simulation using tools such as PLECS, MATLAB, and Simulink, as well as lab tests.
  • Extensive background in designing FW that requires accurate timing within a real-time programming environment, including PLL, timers, PWMs, etc.
  • Strong experience in developing algorithms for harmonics cancellation using feedback approaches.
  • Solid background in developing embedded firmware for real-time systems using C/C++.
  • Strong grasp of power electronics principles, including control techniques for inverters, rectifiers, and DC-DC converters (LLC, CLLC, DAB, PFC chargers, DC/DC, inverters, etc.).
  • Experience working with grid-tie inverter systems (solar, BESS, EVSE, etc.).
  • Solid hands-on experience in high-power labs, with the ability to debug hardware issues related to firmware functions in power converters.
  • Skilled in programming microcontrollers and using peripherals like timers, PWM, interrupts, GPIOs, ADC, UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, and Ethernet; experience with TI C2000 DSP family is a plus.
  • Familiar with version control systems such as Git and SVN.
  • Experience in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, including testbed setup, real-time simulation, plant modelling, hardware interfaces, test scripting, fault injection, and test result analysis.
