Ensure consistent report quality with grammar and formatting standards.
• Achieve, enhance quality standards and set examples for meeting schedules for simulation model development, analytics and reporting. Use, lead and enhance an engineered process throughout the stages of the study.
• Prepare and lead technical papers and articles for publication in professional society journals and trade magazines, and for presentations at professional society meetings, industry conferences, and trade exhibitions.
• Maintain, enhance, apply and train others in concepts in grid planning, interconnection, operations, equipment application, and associated history and evolution of standards, orders, guidelines, and tariffs for use in studies.
• Condition and lead others in the conditioning of the model and judging simulation output based on expected system and equipment capabilities and operation. Estimate and lead others in the estimating of system and equipment parameters based on known values, where applicable, or in providing feedback when such values are questionable.
• Support generator testing, model development, and validation to standards.
• Support studies initiatives for other MEPPI divisions/departments.
• Contribute to pre-specification for T&D equipment, such as for key system design parameters.
• Further the goals and positive, professional image of PSED through interaction with other MEPPI divisions and vendors.
• Know MEPPI's Quality, Safety, and Environmental Policies. Be able to fully discuss the importance of these policies and their impact on work.
• The description above represents the most significant and essential duties of the job but does not exclude other occasional work assignments not mentioned.
