Associate Operations Engineering Engineer

Knowledge of industry criteria and practices regarding power system operation and planning helpful; or equivalent combination of education, training and experience.

Proficiency in the use of advanced Power Flow and transient stability applications software (PSS/e or PSLF), or fault current assessment applications software (ASPEN One-Liner, etc.) to perform system studies is required; familiarity with dynamic recording devices and support software, or frequency and spectral (FFT) analysis software is desirable.

Perform analytical engineering system studies in the following: NYISO seasonal operating studies, NERC, NPCC, and Inter-Regional study support and, when requested, provide Transmission Planning support.

Examples of studies include: seasonal reliability assessments, thermal, voltage, and transient stability studies, short circuit studies, Inter-Regional transfer analysis and reliability assessments.

Conduct detailed analysis of system events and disturbances.

Maintain a detailed electric power system models for the NYCA, incorporating the most accurate system representation for the neighboring Areas to represent the specific study conditions for thermal, voltage, stability short circuit analysis

Conduct reviews of NYISO controlled and secured facilities, standards and practices for installation, maintenance and testing of bulk power protective relay systems.

Evaluate the effectiveness of computer simulation programs and/or other tools to ensure the safe and reliable operations of the NYISO transmission and generation resources.
