Wind, it means the world to us. What does it mean for you?
Vestas Technology & Operations
Research & Development (R&D) > Converter Design & Integration
Vestas R&D is where new product ideas or technologies are matured, developed, tested, and improved. To put it short, Vestas R&D is the cornerstone of Vestas.
We are shaping the future of modern energy.
The Converter & Electrical Module is part of Vestas R&D organization. The department is an essential contributor in making the current and future wind turbines more efficient and cost effective by developing the electrical power conversion components such as power stack (power electronics), transformer, and switchgear.
This is done by being responsible for development and maintenance of the components according to the full value chain requirements.
All Vestas products are based on internally developed converters since electrical power conversion is at the core of how a wind turbine performs, operates, and interacts with the electrical grid.
The daily work will be within a broad network of stakeholders and together with the electrical, mechanical, and thermal specialists you will set the standard for tomorrow's design.
You will be a part of the Converter Design & Integration team within the Converter & Electrical Module. The Converter Design and Integration team consists of highly skilled designers and specialists located in Aarhus Denmark, Porto Portugal, and Chennai India.
Responsibilities
As a Power Engineer in Converters, you will be a part of the Converter Design & Integration team and report to the Manager within Converter & Electrical Module.
Your main responsibilities will be electro-mechanical design and analysis for key components of wind converters such as:
Industrial Low Voltage distribution systems
Busbar sizing - design and simulation
Load flow and SC calculation
Power Engineer - Converter Systems
Your daily tasks will include:
Electro-mechanical and thermal design (analysis, calculation, and simulation) of main circuit & secondary automation of wind turbines converters.
Ensure overall electrical design concepts together with relevant engineers and suppliers
Systems Engineering process adherence through concept-requirements-design-verification
Verification through test and analysis and creating documentation
Ensure that the design solutions meet the product requirements such as NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness), durability, thermal, environmental, and performance
Component & supplier selection - Ensure communication with suppliers and manufacturing, making sure to meet design targets and cost-down activities
Reliability analysis; Quality assurance; Field failure analysis
Qualifications
Your qualifications include:
Bachelors or masters in electro-mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or mechanical engineering if you have electrical design experience
3 years of experience in Electro-mechanical design
The following qualifications could be advantageous:
Knowledge of electrical design of protection systems including circuit breakers / fuses, MCB breakers, and contactors
Knowledge or experience with electrical network and modelling and simulation software, for example, ETAP
Knowledge and experience with short circuit and arc flash calculations and testing according to NFPAE
Experience with FEM simulation - mainly with focus on high current busbar loading
Knowledge of high-power design in the range of more than 0 to 0A for cables and busbars
Preferred knowledge and experience of copper and aluminum busbar designs - electrical, mechanical, and thermal
Knowledge and understanding of IEC series, IEC -1 and understanding the practical use of IEC short-circuit calculations.
Preferred knowledge within the use of IEC series on both supply systems, cables design, and personal protection
Specific knowledge of the following will add value:
Main circuit components: current interruption, relays, busbars, insulators, sensors.
Earthing schemes; protection and selectivity; insulation coordination; fault handling.
Design for harsh environments & International design standards.
Calculation methods e.g. load flow and short circuit calculation; simulation tools; type testing.
Busbar sizing (design copper or aluminum busbars, carrying high currents) including electrical and thermal design and simulations
DFMEA as a working method and know the importance for DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly)
