Essential Functions

Guide and Direct Power Systems Studies (80%)

Independently perform Power System Studies for mission critical projects. Activities include but are not limited to the following:

• Equipment Evaluation: Assess the capabilities, ratings, and condition of equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, and capacitors to determine if they meet system requirements.
• Load Flow Studies: Analyze current and future system load to ensure power delivery without overloading components.
• Short Circuit Analysis: Evaluate potential fault conditions to determine the system's response and ensure that equipment ratings are not exceeded.
• Protection Coordination: Study the settings of protective devices such as relays, circuit breakers, and fuses to ensure they coordinate correctly and provide optimal protection.
• Arc Flash Analysis: Conduct studies to determine potential arc flash hazards, calculate incident energy, and recommend safety practices and protective equipment.
• Transient Stability Analysis: Evaluate the power system's ability to maintain synchronism after large disturbances, such as faults or sudden changes in load, motor starting, etc.
• Prepare incremental and final deliverables including breaker settings tables, TCC’s, arc flash labels, and final reports as required by the project scope.
