Electrical Design Engineer - Substation

Role & responsibilities

An Electrical Design Engineer plays a vital role in the development and implementation of Extra High Voltage (EHV) transmission projects, which typically operate at voltages up-to 765 KV system. The responsibilities of these engineers encompass various aspects of the project, including design, analysis, coordination, and

compliance with regulations.

*Complete quantity verification of Electrical portion during post tendering

* Evaluation of site conditions and site survey

* Complete Design and Drawings preparation & submission for approval

* Complete Electrical Execution

Key Responsibilities:

1. Initial Planning and Feasibility Study

• Route Selection: Assist in selecting the optimal route for the transmission line, taking into account geographical, environmental, and social factors.
• Feasibility Studies: Conduct feasibility analyses to assess the economic, technical, and environmental viability of the proposed transmission project.

2. System Design

• Overall Design Concept: Develop the conceptual design of the transmission system, including single-line diagrams, layout plans, and system configuration.
• Load Flow and Short Circuit Analysis: Perform electrical load flow and short-circuit studies to evaluate the performance of the system under various conditions and to identify potential issues.

3. Equipment Specification

• Selection of Equipment: Specify and select high voltage equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, insulators, and conductors suitable for the EHV application.
• Technical Evaluation: Work with suppliers to evaluate and document the technical specifications of equipment, ensuring compatibility with design requirements.

4. Protection System Design

• Protection Schemes: Design protection systems to safeguard against faults and abnormal conditions, including primary and backup protection methods.
• Relay Coordination: Develop coordination between various protective devices to ensure reliability and efficiency in the systems operation.

5. Control and Automation

• Cable scheduling
• Secondary engineering
