About the role

  • Lead, conduct and present scenario and probabilistic based planning studies under a variety of existing and forecast system conditions.
  • Use technical experience to contribute sound engineering input to develop robust, reliable, low-cost solutions.
  • Exchange results but also conduct critical review of data and assumptions from regional and industry stakeholders.
  • Interface with ISO-New England, area transmission owners, and Eversource departments, such as: UG and OH engineering, Substation Technical, Distributed Energy Resource (DER), Operations, and other departments to understand and mitigate electric system needs, challenges, and enable reliable future growth.
  • Coordinate and oversee studies performed by vendors and consultants, analyze assumptions and review conclusions to integrate into company initiatives.
  • Prepare engineering output and summarize in reports, spreadsheets, and presentation to Eversource colleagues, management, industry groups and regional stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional groups to develop long-range planning standard and criteria for integrating and enabling new technologies, including but not limited to photovoltaic solar (PV), electric vehicles (EV), and battery storage.
  • Support Eversource Control Room in long-term outage coordination study, short-circuit study and switching transient study.
  • Work collaboratively with Substation Engineering, study and identify substation equipment specification, insulation coordination, overvoltage and overcurrent protection, harmonics and mitigation.
  • Collaborate with ISO-NE, Academia and DOE National Labs on power system planning and operation technology strategy, research, and development.

Requirements

  • Minimum of five years specialized experience in transmission planning, operational study, EMT transient analysis, IBR modeling and simulation.
  • Advanced knowledge of electrical theory as applied to planning an electric power supply system.
  • Detailed knowledge and experience producing results and conclusions using power system modeling and simulation software for steady state power flow, voltage, short circuit, stability, and electromagnetic transients (lightning/switching, TOV, TRV, Zero-miss etc).
  • Strong communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills, both verbal and written.
  • Essential Software Proficiency includes PSSE, TARA, PSCAD.
  • Programming experience highly desirable: Python, VBA.
  • Experience required applying NERC TPL, NPCC, and ISO-NE planning procedures.
  • Experience applying ANSI, IEEE, and other industry standards in engineering design and system analysis.
