- Develop detailed designs for HV, MV and LV power cables, including conductor sizing, insulation thickness, and shield requirements based on project needs and industry standards.
- Experience with DC cable route design, including underground, submarine, and installation constraints, with consideration of thermal resistivity, soil conditions, and installation methods.
- Design cable layouts and configurations to meet electrical, thermal, and mechanical requirements, accounting for factors like ampacity, voltage drop, and cable aging.
- Perform engineering analyses, such as thermal, electrical, and mechanical evaluations, to ensure optimal cable performance and longevity.
- Conduct load-flow studies and evaluate cable ampacity to support system reliability and performance objectives.
2. Project Management and Coordination:
- Collaborate with project managers, contractors, and stakeholders to coordinate project schedules, milestones, and resource needs for timely project execution.
- Assist in the planning, budgeting, and resource allocation of cable projects, ensuring adherence to project timelines and financial targets.
- Prepare technical reports, project documentation, and budget estimates to support project planning.
3. System Optimization and Performance Analysis:
- Conduct thermal, electrical, and mechanical modeling to identify and mitigate potential system issues.
- Optimize cable systems by evaluating and implementing advanced engineering practices and innovative solutions to enhance system reliability and efficiency.
- Monitor system performance metrics and recommend upgrades or modifications to improve overall system resilience and efficiency.
4. Compliance and Standards:
- Ensure all cable designs and projects meet relevant industry standards (IEC, IEEE, ANSI) as well as company policies and regulatory requirements.
5. Documentation and Technical Reporting:
- Prepare comprehensive technical documentation, including calculations, design drawings, specifications, and installation/maintenance procedures.
- Generate progress reports, performance analysis, and inspection outcomes to support project updates and ensure project transparency.
