Senior Engineer - System Modelling & Planning Support

Number of positions: 1 Job Location: Edmonds A03

Employment type: Permanent Region: Lower Mainland

Hours of work: Full-time (37.5 hrs/wk) Flexible Work Role: Hybrid

Annual salary: $ 109,700.00 - 138,700.00

Position Highlights
The successful candidate will join the System Modelling & Planning Support (SM&PS) group (within Transmission Asset
Planning) as a Senior Engineer.

The core function of the SM&PS group is:

To implement the data models to support the transmission planning processes in BC Hydro (growth capital planning,

interconnection planning, transmission operation services, network integration transmission services and integrated
resource planning)

To address compliance with WECC and NERC MRS requirements concerning data models for transmission planning and

reliability assessment.

To maintain and sustain in-house software tools used to support the transmission planning processes within BC Hydro in

addition to wider user groups where applicable.

What you'll do

Provide subject-matter-expertise in power system modelling by conducting data modelling, review, validation, and quality

assurance in the data models of transmission circuits, station equipment and generation facilities. This also includes
implementation of load forecasts, base resource plans, interconnection queue, as-built data for capital and sustain projects,
external system models, system operating order updates, etc.

Provide work experience, leadership and technical direction to engineers and technical staff in setting up, testing, tuning,

benchmarking, and building steady state and dynamic models (base cases). This includes knowledge transfer and training
on analytical methods and techniques implemented in specialized power systems application software used for the
planning, design, and operation of electrical power systems.

Provide work experience, leadership and technical direction to engineers and technical staff in sustaining and maintaining

existing software used to support various transmission planning needs and business groups. Examples of such software
include those to provide others access to equipment data and project planning scopes.

Ensure on-going compliance and awareness with NERC MRS standards applicable to steady-state and dynamic data

models used for transmission planning (e.g. MOD-010, MOD-012, MOD-025, MOD-026, MOD-027, MOD-031, MOD-032
and MOD-033, and TPL-001-4 standards

Respond to WECC data requests (power flow and dynamic base cases, generating unit model validation, Remedial Action

Schemes in standardized WECC format, Composite Load Model, Relay Models, Sequence Data, Load & Resource
Information, Geomagnetic Induced Current data). This includes interaction and coordination with other utilities such as:
FBC, AESO, and BPA.

Active participation representing BC Hydro in relevant working groups of the Data and Model Subcommittees under

WECC’s Reliability Assessment Committee dealing with steady-state and dynamic data used for transmission reliability
assessment.

Interact with relevant groups in Integrated Planning, Operations and Capital Infrastructure Project Delivery in implementing

processes, requirements, criteria, standards, and policies dealing with power system models for transmission planning.

Develop and maintain effective professional relationship with internal and external customers in addressing service

requests for performing specialized engineering studies (e.g., load interconnections, generation interconnections, capital
plan, short and long range transmission planning, annual NERC TPL studies, etc.). This includes understanding the
requirements, defining the scope of the work, implementing, testing, and delivering on time data models for planning studies
based on customer specifications.

What you bring

Bachelor or higher academic degree in Electrical Power Systems Engineering from a qualified university.

Registered, or eligible for immediate registration, as a Professional Engineer with the Engineers and Geoscientists of

British Columbia (EGBC).

A minimum of 8 years of working experience working in data modelling and/or software development and/or performing

specialized electrical power system studies, such as: power flows, dynamic stability simulations, voltage stability, short-
circuit calculations, reactive var planning and optimization, frequency response analysis, etc for a senior engineer position
(P3). However, applicants who do not meet the full qualifications or those with lesser work experience may be considered
for a lower level engineer position.

Work experience with power system simulation tools and software such as: PSS/E, DSA Tools, GE-PSLF, PowerWorld,

ASPEN, PSCAD/EMTDC, EMTP-RV, PI.

Ability to review and verify plant record information for transmission circuits and station equipment and extract data

models as needed by power application software used for transmission planning.

Knowledge of fundamental engineering concepts applied to power system reliability evaluation and with particular

emphasis on composite generation and transmission reliability assessment.

Strong interpersonal, communication, technical writing and organizational skills and ability to work in a team environment

is essential.

Preference will be given to candidates with strong academic background and expertise in the planning and operation of

electrical power systems.

Preference will be given to candidates with software development skills in electrical power systems using specialized

programming languages such as: FORTRAN, C++, C#, Python, Perl, Awk, HTML/XML, Java, etc., and industry standard
databases (Oracle, SQL server).

Knowledge and exposure to the latest developments in the CIM (Common Information Model), a standard developed by

the electricity industry for data modelling and exchange would be an asset but not a requirement.
