Job Description:
Job Summary:
The Systems Engineer (Solar & BESS) will be responsible for the technical design, standardization, and evaluation of solar photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for Enerparc India’s utility-scale projects. The role includes developing standardized designs, performing technical due diligence, supporting vendor qualification, and coordinating cross-functionally for hybrid and advanced technology integration. The position demands strong technical expertise in PV and BESS systems, electrical engineering fundamentals, and an understanding of grid integration and techno-economic optimisation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design & Engineering
- Develop and maintain standardized system designs for PV and BESS, including SLDs, layouts, and control philosophies.
- Perform technical assessment and component sizing for PV modules, inverters, batteries, and PCS.
- Support system integration studies, including AC/DC coupling configurations, control logics, and operational modes.
- Prepare and review tendering specifications, employer requirements, and design packages for BESS components and hybrid systems.
- Conduct energy yield assessments (PVsyst), loss analysis, and design optimization to support commercial and pre-bid teams.
- Review and validate electrical studies, including load flow, short-circuit, and protection coordination.
- Coordinate with grid interconnection and protection teams for compliance with CEA, IEC, and IEEE standards.
-
- Vendor Evaluation & Technical Qualification
- Lead technical evaluation and qualification of solar and BESS component vendors.
- Review test reports, certifications (IEC, UL, IS), and field performance data.
- Participate in factory and site inspections (FAT/SAT) and ensure compliance with design and quality requirements.
-
- Technical Analysis & Support
- Conduct BESS techno-economic studies, evaluating performance, sizing, and lifetime degradation.
- Review and benchmark OEM proposals for performance, safety, and reliability.
- Support troubleshooting and post-commissioning technical investigations.
-
- Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
- Work closely with Pre-Bid, D&E, Quality, and Procurement teams for design alignment and cost optimization.
- Continuously update design standards based on new inverter and BESS technologies.
- Provide training and knowledge sharing within the engineering function on hybrid and storage systems.
Requirements / Qualifications
- Education: B.E./B.Tech or M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or Renewable Energy.
- Experience: 5–8 years in solar PV and BESS engineering, preferably in IPP or EPC environments.
-
Technical Competencies:
- Strong understanding of PV and BESS design principles – system sizing, energy management, and protection design.
- Proficient in PVsyst, AutoCAD, PVCase, ETAP, and MS Office.
- Familiarity with BESS simulation or sizing tools (e.g., Homer, MATLAB, or vendor-specific software).
- Working knowledge of standards: IEC 62933, IEC 62109, IEEE 1547, IS 16221, CEA Grid Code.
Soft Skills:
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Adaptability:
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a dynamic renewable energy environment.
Benefits / What’s in it for You
