Systems Engineer _Substation & Wind Systems design

Key Responsibilities:

1. Electrical Design & Standardization

• Carry out HV/EHV substation designs (AIS type) including layout, SLDs, and electrical sections from 66 kV to 400 kV
• Develop standardized designs and templates for LV/MV/HV systems (LT panels, transformers, ICR/MCR, switch-yards, and grid substations).
• Prepare/guide design of SLDs, GA drawings, EKD, DSLP, earthing, cable routing, and illumination layouts.
• Perform equipment sizing and calculations (short-circuit, earthing, lightning protection, CT/PT sizing, conductor 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 optimization
• Coordinate with civil and mechanical design teams for multi-disciplinary interface

2. Wind Electrical Integration

• Support wind-solar hybrid system design and integration, including electrical evacuation and hybrid switch-yard 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 project design and interconnection approvals.

3. Vendor Evaluation & Technical Coordination

• Evaluate and qualify electrical equipment vendors (transformers, switchgear, cables, protection panels.)
• Review vendor datasheets, test certificates, and design compliance with IEC/IS/IEEE standards.
• Support factory acceptance tests (FAT) and pre-dispatch inspections for major electrical components.
• Collaborate with procurement and construction teams for material finalization and implementation 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 uniformity and optimization.
• .Maintain and continuously improve standard design libraries and documentation for future projects.
