Energy Storage Grid Integration & Power System Consultant

This is a remote position.

Our client, a leading global ICT company, is recruiting a Energy Storage Grid Integration& Power System Consultant to join their business in Germany.

Responsibilities: 

• Track and interpret German power system policies, grid upgrade requirements, energy storage integration standards, and dispatch rules; identify grid-side energy storage application scenarios (peak shaving, frequency regulation, reserve, black start) and deliver Germany Power Grid & Energy Storage Research Reports.
  

• Research and address key technical challenges of grid-connected energy storage, including grid-forming control, virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technologies, and energy storage participation in ancillary services (AGC/AVC).
  

• Develop a technical roadmap for energy storage and grid integration, defining short-, medium-, and long-term implementation paths (grid stability, ancillary services, VPP aggregation).
  

• Design grid connection schemes for grid-side and renewable-plus-storage projects, including connection point selection, capacity configuration, protection schemes, and communication design, in compliance with German grid operator requirements.
  

• Perform grid connection and system impact simulations using PSCAD/EMTDC, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, or PSSE, and deliver Grid Connection Simulation Reports.
  

• Support grid connection approval processes by participating in technical reviews, responding to grid operator inquiries, and resolving technical issues.
  

• Design coordination and dispatch strategies for energy storage participation in grid frequency regulation and peak shaving, defining key operational parameters and response requirements.
  

• Analyze operational data from existing energy storage plants, identify grid-related performance constraints, and propose technical optimization measures.
  

• Research and design source-grid-load-storage coordination strategies, integrating energy storage with PV, wind, and conventional generation to improve renewable utilization and grid reliability.
  

Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy Engineering, or a related field (PhD preferred).
  

• 8+ years of experience in the power industry, including 5+ years in energy storage and/or power grid planning, dispatching, or design.
  

• Hands-on experience with grid-connected large-scale energy storage projects (≥100 MW / 200 MWh preferred).
  

• Strong knowledge of power system operation principles, grid connection standards, dispatch rules, and ancillary service mechanisms.
  

• Proficiency in at least one major power system simulation tool (PSCAD, DIgSILENT, PSSE).
  

• Solid understanding of energy storage system components (BESS, PCS, BMS, EMS) and parameter optimization for grid compliance.
  

• Familiarity with advanced concepts such as grid-forming energy storage, virtual synchronous machines, and virtual power plants.
