Wind, it means the world to us.
What does it mean for you?
Vestas Technology & Operations > Research & Development (R&D) > 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 (i.e., Function like 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 high standards.
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 Proficient in coding in model-based design with MATLAB/Simulink & C++ 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 Qualifications The ideal candidate has master's degree within Electrical power engineering or similar discipline Knowledgeable about the Grid code requirements at Point of Connection (PoC) Experience/knowledge about the Grid stability issues (Harmonics, Flicker, Voltage drop, Interarea oscillation, Resonance, ...) Conventional synchronous generators and their control General understanding electrical power system Knowledge about Electrical components (Transformers, STATCOM, SynCon, PV, ...) Proficient user of MATLAB/Simulink, C++ & PSCAD software tools Working knowledge in power systems controls like wind power plants or HVDC plants etc Competencies As a person you are self-motivated, professional, and committed by nature.
You have a good sense of quality and a can-do mentality.
