- Lead the engineering team in the design and development of a High-Power DC Supply system involving AC to DC Power Conversion for Currents from 100 A up to 5200 A and Voltage up to 1500 VDC applied to a Hydrogen Production System.
- Review the design of the Electronics I/O Sensors interface and Firmware/Software interfacing to the MMI application
- Design the electronics interface design on the PCB in compliance with international reliability, thermal and EMI/EMC design guidelines as well as local electrical codes & standards/legislation (e.g., CE, IEC, API, BS)
- Design robust test plan (e.g. FAT’s/SAT’s and/or vendor inspections) for the power system and to execute the relevant tests before the acceptance and system level integration of the power modules including electrical safety with lightning protection consideration.
- Responsible for development of supporting technical documents for the power system modules.
- Define specification and procurement of equipment such as:
- Sizing calculations, datasheets
- AC/DC Power Converters, Medium Voltage Transformers and Switchgear, High Voltage Distribution systems, UPS Systems
- Electrical substations/E-house
- Cooperate/lead partners and suppliers to optimize design and align interfaces with electrical equipment/systems.
Required Experience and Qualifications:
- Masters / Degree in Electronics Electrical Engineering or related Power Electronics Engineering
- Familiar with High-Power AC‐DC converters (e.g. 100 A up to 5200 A and Voltage up to 1500 VDC) and topologies (i.e., uncontrolled, controlled diode and thyristor‐based rectifier, and diode bridge rectifiers connected to DC chopper) to achieve the following outcomes:
To deliver a controlled DC current to manage the hydrogen flow rate and energy efficiency of the hydrogen production system.
Optimise interaction with the power supply from the power quality point of view (e.g., high power factor, compensation of reactive power).
Ensuring input current harmonics injected in the AC power supply must meet the international standards and requirements such as IEEE 519‐2014.
Designing system for high efficiency and high reliability (ensure continuity of service in case of electrical failures etc)
Minimize low‐ and high‐frequency current ripple to the hydrogen production system while optimizing the specific energy consumption.
Minimize cost of power system.
- Familiar with the electrical codes & safety standards/legislation (e.g., CE, IEC, API, BS.)
- Experience in HV / LV Panel troubleshooting and servicing.
- Experience in managing and leading industrial partners/sub-contractor and suppliers to optimize design, cost and align interfaces with electrical equipment/systems
- Analytical minded with exceptional project management and organization skills
- Strong communication and presentation skills
- Professional and ethical behaviour
