The role involves technical analysis, system design, and collaboration with engineering teams to optimize and implement innovative energy storage solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct techno-economic modeling of customer energy storage systems and use cases.
- Analyze load and generation profiles to size BESS systems and predict energy throughput.
- Develop models considering energy input costs, charge/discharge times, efficiency, and revenue.
- Evaluate system costs, architectures, and operational requirements for customer projects.
- Research and recommend equipment, software, and partners for field installations.
- Support engineering cost estimations and total cost of ownership analysis.
- Monitor and report on performance of field pilot installations and suggest improvements.
- Collaborate with firmware team to develop control strategies for optimal charge and dispatch.
- Perform Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) on BESS components and systems.
- Assist in authoring and maintaining engineering documentation and project requirements.
- Support commissioning, operation, and service of BESS installations.
Requirements
- Minimum 3-5 years of experience in the Battery Energy Storage or Electric Vehicle EV charger or renewable power industry, especially on project design with strong working knowledge of BESS installation requirements and economic incentives in California, New York State, and other leading Energy Storage markets.
- Minimum undergraduate degree in a related engineering field.
- Industry experience with Microgrid control, Demand Management, Behind-The-Meter storage, Electric Vehicle Charging, Solar and Wind power generation, and related Power flow and Energy modelling.
- Ability to analyze various end-use loads and generation at customer projects, both utility scale and behind-the-meter, to develop power and energy models to size BESS systems and predict energy throughput.
- Fluency in all technical aspects of battery sizing, power flows in and out of the battery, and serving as a technical resource to advise on product specifications and work packages.
- Experience in modeling active reactive power, voltage, and frequency deviation resulting from varying load, generation, and battery maneuvering.
- Ability to evaluate costs, system architectures, Balance of Plant (BOP), and operational requirements for various customer use cases.
- Experience in researching and recommending AC equipment, software, and partners for field installations.
- Support engineering cost estimations and total cost of ownership of the system to the customer.
- Experience in monitoring and reporting on the performance of field pilot installations and making recommendations for charge control, dispatch strategies, and system design improvements.
- Ability to work with the BMS firmware team to develop controls that follow optimal charge control dispatch strategies.
- Experience conducting Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) on Power Conversion Systems (PCS), controls, and overall BESS for pilot installations.
- Ability to support engineering documentation, set project requirements, and assist during commissioning, operations, and service of BESS installations.
- Willingness and ability to travel to field demonstration sites in Canada, US, and customer sites as needed.
