- Research and resolve data acquisition and supervisory control issues which prevent safe, reliable, and compliant operations of SCADA system and Automatic Generation Control system (AGC).
- Configure and manage SCADA alarms, real-time calculations, and other parameters to provide situational awareness to grid operations and region dispatch, to ensure they can react to field conditions as needed.
- Provide system development support to the clients of EMS/SCADA system.
- Fulfill inter and intra-company data exchange requirements of grid operations, including data exchange with neighbor utilities and WECC.
- Render HMI displays using CAD software and link to operational points in real-time database.
- Ensure compliance of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) standard of conduct by configuring display parameters for appropriate viewing restrictions.
- Perform document management functions by backing up HMI display files and adhering to established backup/restore procedures.
- Create and maintain Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standards-compliant symbol library.
- Develop and support display standards.
- May participate in 24/7 on call support to gain system support experience.
