Job Summary

The Systems Engineer (Substation & Wind Systems) will be responsible for design standardization and engineering of LV/MV/HV electrical systems, substation layouts, and hybrid interconnections involving solar and wind energy projects. The role requires strong expertise in substation design (66 kV to 400 kV), Electrical Balance of Plant (EBoP), and grid integration. The position also supports vendor evaluation, pre-bid engineering, and technical coordination for hybrid and wind-inclusive projects across India.

Key Responsibilities

1. Electrical Design & Standardisation

• - Carry out HV/EHV substation designs (AIS type), including layouts, SLDs, and electrical sections from 66 kV to 400 kV.
• - Develop standardised designs and templates for LV/MV/HV systems, including LT panels, transformers, ICR/MCR, switchyards, and grid substations.
• - Prepare and guide designs for SLDs, GA drawings, EKD, DSLP, earthing, cable routing, and illumination layouts.
• - Perform equipment sizing and calculations, including short-circuit, earthing, lightning protection, CT/PT sizing, conductor sizing, and battery sizing.
• - Interface with protection, control, and SCADA systems for grid compliance and design coordination.
• - Prepare and review technical RFPs, BOQs, and technical bid evaluations, ensuring cost and design optimisation.
• - Coordinate with civil and mechanical design teams for multidisciplinary interfaces.

2. Wind Electrical Integration

• - Support wind–solar hybrid system design and integration, including electrical evacuation and hybrid switchyard configurations.
• - Evaluate wind turbine electrical systems, transformers, switchgear, and interconnection standards.
• - Review and interface WTG control and protection systems with solar and BESS assets in hybrid projects.
• - Conduct grid compliance checks, system loss calculations, and hybrid power evacuation studies.
• - Coordinate with wind OEMs, developers, and state utilities for design and interconnection approvals.

3. Vendor Evaluation & Technical Coordination

• - Evaluate and qualify vendors for transformers, switchgear, cables, and protection panels.
• - Review vendor datasheets, test certificates, and compliance with IEC / IS / IEEE standards.
• - Support factory acceptance tests (FAT) and pre-dispatch inspections.
• - Collaborate with procurement and construction teams for material finalization and readiness.

4. Project & Cross-functional Support

• - Provide pre-bid technical support including concept layouts, grid connection philosophy, and loss studies.
• - Work closely with D&E, Hybrid, and Quality teams to ensure design consistency and optimization.
• - Maintain and continuously improve standard design libraries and documentation.
