Job Summary:

The BESS Design Engineer will be a pivotal member of our engineering team, focusing on the conceptualization, detailed electrical design, and technical specification of Battery Energy Storage Systems for seamless integration into new and existing wind, solar, and hybrid renewable energy power plants. This role demands a good command over battery technologies, power conversion systems, and advanced control strategies, ensuring that our integrated BESS solutions are efficient, safe, compliant, and optimized for various grid services and project applications.

Key Responsibilities:

1. BESS Solution Development & Optimization:

• Translate project requirements (such as peak shaving, energy shifting, ramp rate control, and ancillary services like frequency regulation or voltage support) into optimal BESS specifications for power and energy capacity within the integrated power plant.
  

• Perform techno-economic analysis to select the most suitable battery chemistry and Power Conversion System topology for each unique project, considering its integration with wind, solar, or hybrid systems.
  

• Develop high-level BESS architecture diagrams and block schematics illustrating the integration of battery containers or racks, PCS, cooling systems, fire suppression, and balance of plant within the overall renewable energy facility.
  

2. Detailed Electrical Engineering & Schematics:

• Generate comprehensive electrical design packages for BESS installations, including detailed Single Line Diagrams, Three Line Diagrams, control schematics, wiring diagrams, and interconnection drawings for seamless integration into the plant.
  

• Execute electrical calculations for DC/AC cabling, busbar sizing, conduit fill, voltage drop, short-circuit analysis, and harmonic distortion specific to BESS components and their connection to the plant grid.
  

• Design robust grounding and lightning protection systems for the BESS compound, ensuring compliance with relevant safety standards.
  

3. Component Specification & Vendor Engagement:

• Prepare precise technical specifications and data sheets for all BESS components, including battery modules or containers, PCS, Battery Management Systems, site transformers, medium voltage switchgear, protection relays, and auxiliary power systems for integrated projects.
  

• Conduct technical evaluation of vendor proposals for BESS equipment, ensuring strict adherence to specifications, performance guarantees, and industry best practices.
  

• Review and approve vendor-provided drawings, data, and technical documentation.
  

4. Control System & EMS Integration:

• Define the functional requirements and communication protocols for the BESS Energy Management System and Plant Controller, ensuring seamless interface with existing SCADA and plant control systems for solar, wind, or hybrid installations.
  

• Develop control philosophies for BESS operation, including charging/discharging algorithms, operational modes, and grid interaction strategies within the integrated plant.
  

5. Safety, Codes & Standards Compliance:

• Ensure all BESS designs fully comply with national and international standards, including Indian Electrical Rules, CEA Regulations, IS codes, NFPA 855, IEEE, and relevant fire safety codes for battery energy storage.
  

• Integrate comprehensive safety features and operational procedures, including thermal management, ventilation, fire detection/suppression, and emergency shutdown.
  

6. Performance Modeling & Simulation:

• Utilize specialized BESS simulation tools and energy modeling software to predict system performance, round-trip efficiency, degradation over life cycle, and economic dispatch capabilities within the context of the overall power plant.
  

• Identify opportunities for design optimization to enhance performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness throughout the BESS lifecycle.
  

7. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Site Support:

• Collaborate extensively with Project Managers, Solar/Wind Design Engineers, Substation Engineers, Civil Engineers, Procurement, and Construction teams to ensure integrated design and smooth project execution.
  

• Provide technical support and clarifications during the construction, installation, testing, and commissioning phases of BESS projects.
  

REQUIRED:

• Profound understanding of battery technologies especially Lithium-Ion, Power Conversion Systems operation, and Battery Management Systems.
  

• Strong knowledge of relevant Indian electrical codes (IE Rules, CEA Regulations) and international standards (IEEE, UL, NFPA) pertaining to BESS.
  

• Excellent analytical, critical thinking, and complex problem-solving abilities specific to BESS integration challenges within larger renewable energy projects.
