Job Summary

The position supports the design of the LIPA distribution system and advance applicable Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act Initiatives. The engineer will support incremental workload associated with development of various aspects of Distributed System Platform (DSP), notably to support various engineering and analytical effort to realize system optimizations associated with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and enabling platforms to provide granular information to the Distributed Energy Resource (DER) interconnection customer. The engineer will conduct detailed power system analysis to conduct DER interconnection studies, specialized studies to enable ways to increase hosting capacity on the system, and develop cost effective solutions using cutting edge technology such as AMI meter data. In addition, the engineer will analyze and integrate innovative technology to advance the distribution system platform. 

Job Responsibilities

Responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:

•Responsible for conducting power flow analyses across LIPA system and integrating the information using GIS and CYME software 
• Perform research on the technology being employed by other utilities or offered in the market to enhance T&D planning practice and platforms. 
• Conduct detailed power system studies such as DER interconnection studies, distribution area study, and support load forecast efforts in distribution planning, 
• Actively participate with working groups, universities and other utilities to capture the best practices to be employed on T&D system.   
• Oversee and participate in the development of Utility 2.0 filing not limited to collaborating with other organization to develop optimized technical solutions. 
• Successfully design, lead and align the distribution project consistent with LIPA T&D criteria, NYS CLCPA initiatives and with latest DPS orders. 
• Analyze and work with internal and third-party vendors to make improvements to the hosting capacity maps.
• Responsible for working closely with Data Analytics team to implement use cases for T&D system improvement utilizing the AMI metered data.
• Ensure the execution of Utility 2.0 deliverables in timely manner by collaborating with internal and external groups.
• Collaborate with internal organization to support five year capital budget plan.
• Assess and implement software/tools that supports the integration of DER onto LIPA grid. 
• Develop innovative ideas and explore tools which will incorporate both power system technical and economic concepts that can be employed in planning process. 
• Compile, analyze and interpret large sets of power system data to develop theory/conclusions. 
• Support normal and contingency analysis of distribution system using CYME software.    
• Collaborate with internal and consulting teams to develop solutions to challenging technical problems.
