Roles & Responsibilities :
The Electrical Lead is responsible for leading the electrical design, engineering, and grid?interface activities for utility?scale and C&I battery energy storage projects. The role ensures that all BESS solutions comply with applicable grid codes, safety standards, and customer requirements, from concept through commissioning and handover.
Key Responsibilities
Lead end?to?end electrical design of BESS plants, including single?line diagrams, cable sizing, grounding/earthing, protection schemes, and equipment specifications (transformers, switchgear, RMUs, UPS, etc.).
Define and validate grid?connection requirements with utilities (voltage levels, fault levels, protection interfaces, metering, power quality, and grid?code compliance such as frequency/voltage support, reactive power, and ramp?rate limits).
Review and approve integration of PCS/inverters, BMS, EMS, and SCADA from an electrical and protection perspective.
Perform or supervise load?flow, short?circuit, and protection coordination studies, and support harmonic and power?quality studies with specialist consultants where required.
Ensure designs comply with relevant international and local standards (e.g., IEC/IEEE for switchgear, transformers, protection, and storage systems; applicable grid codes; electrical safety regulations).
Own and maintain internal electrical design standards, templates, and checklists for BESS and grid?connected systems.
Define protection philosophies and interlocking schemes for safe energization, isolation, and maintenance of BESS and grid?connected equipment.
Drive design reviews (HIRA/HAZID/HAZOP where relevant) focusing on electrical safety, arc?flash risk, and functional safety for critical controls.
