Grid analyst role focused on understanding, modeling and informing grid decisions for multiple markets, with emphasis on non-wire solutions and techno-economic analysis to support capex strategy and grid investments.

Responsibilities

  • Grid assessment: Map, analyse and model grids across various markets. Analyse and provide insights to inform capex strategy, prioritising non-wire solutions.
  • Techno-economic and electrical power flow modeling to define optimal mix of resources against specific objectives (grid constraints, peak profile, LOLE, LCOE etc.)
  • Technical assessment of solutions for grid quality and stability issues, with a focus on non-wire solutions (flexibility and BESS).
  • Grid development plans: support the team in reviewing and designing grid investment plans or Integrated Resource Plans, for technical sign-off.
  • Interconnection: Analyse grid constraints and provide insights on grid connection queues.
  • Interest in expanding into commercial modelling
