Power System Analyst with focus on grid integration of renewables and large loads

Contribute to ensure a robust power grid and high power quality in tomorrow’s energy system

The Danish power system is undergoing significant technical changes. The green power system of the future will be significantly more complex and behave in a very different way compared to today. Energy production is taken over by technologies such as wind and solar, and in addition to this, an enormous increase on the demand side is expected, driven mainly by very large data centers and PtX facilities. Energinet is the Danish system operator in facilitating the green transition and must ensure that the power system can be operated in a stable manner, today and in the future.

Plant Integration at Energinet plays a central role in making sure that new and existing facilities – from classic power plants to wind, solar, PtX, data centers, and HVDC connections – are integrated safely and efficiently into the Danish power grid. We take the primary specialist responsibility for grid code compliance within a range of electro-technical areas – including power quality/harmonics, operation capabilities as well as robustness and stability. 

Directly linked to the green transition

As a Power System Analyst in the Department Plant Integration, you will contribute directly to the foundation of the Danish green transition. You will play an important role in the organisation, where you will be responsible for ensuring secure and reliable grid integration of a range of plant types. You will validate plant performance through measurements, tests and simulation, further ensure valid simulation models, and conduct grid integration studies. Through that process you will interact with internal and external stakeholders involved.

Your key responsibilities are:

• Act as technical lead specialist for grid integration and grid code compliance with several technologies including solar power plants, wind power plants, synchronous power plants, data centres and PtX-facilities as well as HVDC. 
• Undertake power system plant integration studies using various analytical tools including harmonic models, phasor-based and electromagnetic transient tools (eg PowerFactory and PSCAD).
• Contribute to the continuous development of the Danish grid codes.
• Handle specification, performance verification and implementation of a range of different types of simulation models.
• Ensure continuous grid code compliance through monitoring and operations evaluation, including harmonic emissions and distortion, voltage control performance, ramp rates, fault response etc.
• Specify compliance-testing and -simulation requirements for new grid connections.
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, including project managers, manufactures, and consultants.

You can look forward to an exciting job with great responsibility, variety, and complexity. You will work closely with 11 highly specialized colleagues, and you will be at the centre of the decision-making to ensure the stability of the future green power system. 

Power system or power electronic engineering specialist

You hold a master’s degree within Power System or Power Electronic engineering, combined with minimum 2-4 years of work experience either from either the wind, solar or classic power plant industry, a TSO or grid connection of other large facilities. You are specialized in simulation-based analysis and have experience within modelling of synchronous or power electronic interfaced plants. You have well-developed competencies within the use of DIgSILENT PowerFactory and PSCAD and programming skills, eg. Python.

It is important that you like to work with advanced theory and are equipped with strong analytical skills and a well-developed critical sense. You work systematically, take responsibility, have personal impact, and can work independently. You are good at collaborating with different professional groups and at communicating complex issues in a clear and easy-to-understand language. You speak and write English fluently and preferably also Danish.

Energinet Systemsansvar's core tasks are to integrate renewable energy, ensure equal access to the grids, develop market design, monitor, and balance the transmission grid and ensure security of supply in Denmark. We are a subsidiary of the Energinet Group, which represents the interests of society when supplying Denmark with electricity and gas and that the energy system is converted to green energy. Our culture is closely linked to our social responsibility, and we work actively with the UN's global goals on sustainable energy, climate action, partnerships for action as well as industry, innovation, and infrastructure. By leading the way in the green transition, we can help to solve the global climate challenge. New solutions require us to be able to see problems from many different angles, and diversity is therefore a keyword in our culture. We strive to listen to, involve and share our knowledge. Based on the values of courage and trust, we focus on constantly developing ourselves as an organisation and as people. Read more at our website
