• Architect and develop the control philosophy of hybrid renewable plant controllers—handling voltage, VAR, power curtailment, ramp rate, power factor, and black start functionalities.
• Ensure seamless integration of PMC with SCADA, EMS, substation control systems , and utility networks, while embedding cybersecurity features to meet grid and regulatory standards.
• Validate PMC performance to meet grid-forming, black start , and standalone restoration capabilities.
• Lead a team of engineers and draughtspersons through timely, high-quality engineering deliverables , vendor evaluations, and client approvals.
• Coordinate with internal AC design teams and external vendors to ensure design alignment , interface coordination, and spatial accuracy.
