Senior BESS Integration & Plant Control Engineer for a major offshore wind project based in the UK
Responsibilities
Support the design and coordination of the control interfaces between the BESS and HVDC system across a range of operating scenarios. Define and manage key integration interfaces between the BESS, offshore wind farm, HVDC controls, plant controllers, and other relevant OEM systems. Support the BESS Technical Lead to provide input into the development of the overall integrated operating and control philosophy for the BESS, HVDC system, and offshore wind plant. Support the BESS Technical Lead working closely with OEMs and project stakeholders to ensure the integrated solution is correctly designed, built, tested, and commissioned. Lead the definition of BESS interfaces related to trading, dispatch, and revenue optimization, including interfaces with the optimizer platform. Ensure control logic and system design appropriately reflect network constraints, including restrictions arising from shared grid connection arrangements, offshore wind generation conditions, HVDC operating constraints, and wider transmission system limitations. Develop the functional approach to automatically limit or adjust traded power when plant or grid constraints apply. Provide technical leadership across complex multidisciplinary interfaces involving controls, SCADA, commercial/trading systems, OEM platforms, and grid compliance functions. Work closely with the Plant Control Engineer for the HVDC and offshore wind plant to ensure aligned design and testing. Lead the BESS aspects of UK grid code compliance planning and testing by working closely with the Plant Control Engineer for the HVDC and Offshore Windfarm as well as the overall commissioning team.
