What is remote power system planning?

Remote power system planning involves designing, analyzing, and optimizing electrical power systems from a remote location using digital tools and software. Professionals in this field assess current and future energy needs, model electrical grids, and help ensure reliable and efficient power delivery, often for utilities or large organizations. This role typically requires knowledge of electrical engineering, power system analysis, and familiarity with industry-standard software. Remote work allows power system planners to collaborate with teams and stakeholders across different locations, making use of advanced communication and simulation tools.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Power System Planning Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Power System Planning Engineer, you need a strong background in electrical engineering, power system analysis, and grid modeling, often supported by a relevant degree and experience in utility or consulting environments. Proficiency with tools such as PSS®E, ETAP, or PowerWorld, along with knowledge of SCADA systems and industry standards, is typically required. Strong analytical abilities, effective communication, and remote collaboration skills are essential soft skills for success. These capabilities ensure accurate system planning, reliable power delivery, and efficient teamwork in a distributed work environment.

What are some common challenges faced by remote power system planning professionals, and how can they be addressed?

Remote power system planning professionals often encounter challenges such as coordinating across multiple time zones, accessing up-to-date system data, and maintaining effective communication with on-site teams. To address these issues, it's important to use robust collaboration tools, schedule regular virtual meetings, and establish clear protocols for data sharing and documentation. Additionally, building strong relationships with both technical and non-technical stakeholders can help ensure smooth project execution and foster a supportive team environment.

Job description

The successful candidate will have a focus on Transmission System Planning & Analysis and provide highly-skilled engineering and analytically based services to assess power system performance for electric transmission systems under steady-state and dynamic conditions. Studies are primarily focused on dynamic stability, transient stability, and short circuit analysis, but may address a variety of other concerns including economics, harmonics, transient analysis, and power quality.

*This role may require occasional travel*

As a Transmission Planning Consultant, you’ll play a crucial role in shaping the future of power systems. Your day-to-day will involve power system modeling and analysis across various planning horizons using specialized software. You’ll develop and evaluate alternatives for interconnecting or modifying generating units and other resources, and you’ll advise clients on study processes and methods used by ISOs/RTOs and transmission owners.

You’ll also assess the reliability and efficiency of existing and planned power systems, developing solutions to address any concerns and ensure compliance with standards. Additionally, you’ll develop and validate models for generating units, inverters, and other resources. Managing and mentoring less experienced staff will be part of your role, helping them develop new skills and grow professionally.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree with concentration in power systems engineering and equivalent experience developed through detailed analysis of power systems;
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in wide-area power system modeling, analysis, and planning, including power flow/steady state, dynamic stability, transient stability, and short circuit studies for interconnections on the transmission system
  • Proficient with power system modeling and analysis tools with at least one of the following: Siemens PTI PSS®E Steady State Power Flow and Dynamics as well as PowerGem TARA, PowerWorld, PSLF

Preferred:

  • Experience with PSCAD software
  • Experienced with rules, tariffs, guidelines, and processes of system operators (ISOs/RTOs) in one or more areas and studies of interconnections and transmission service

Selected candidates should be willing to go to the office and travel, as needed.

This role is designated as remote, giving you the flexibility to primarily work from home while staying actively connected to your team and projects.
