Summary
The Associate Engineer thru Engineer has the responsibility of ensuring the computer models of the power grid are accurate in order to support the operation and stability of the high voltage power grid in Texas. The responsibilities includes analyzing complex construction sequences to develop changes to the computer network model representing the bulk power grid. The complex model work will focus on the Transmission Management System (TMS) at Oncor and ERCOT's Network Operations Model. This includes providing engineering analysis and technical support for Oncor real-time operations in compliance with NERC Standards, ERCOT Protocols and Operating Guides. The incumbent will analyze and implement appropriate system model sequences, develop tools and procedures to enhance the system model quality, and develop solutions to current or future system issues.
Key Roles & Responsibilities
- Analyze construction sequences to develop network model change sequences and effectively communicate with Transmission Construction Management, Transmission Engineering and Transmission Field Operations to ensure the model data accuracy
- Submittal and monitoring of ERCOT Network Operations Model Change Requests (NOMCRs) and other system change notifications
- Develop TMS ICCP database updates to provide real time telemetry data to ERCOT
- Implement Oncor transmission line and auto transformer rating changes in the ERCOT Network Operations Model through developing NOMCRs
- Maintain TMS line and auto transformer rating databases and resolve rating model discrepancies between the TMS and ERCOT Network Operations Model
- Develop tools and processes for enhancing model data accuracy Support Transmission Grid Operations with modeling needs to ensure reliable and safe operation of the electrical system
- Ensure that maintenance of these models is accurate, timely and in accordance with all applicable NERC and ERCOT requirements
- Work independently and train less experienced engineers and technical specialists
