What you will be responsible for:

• High Voltage Electrical System Design and Implementation (Core Responsibility, 70%)

• Power Distribution System Planning and Design:
  • Lead the end-to-end design of power distribution systems (10kV and below high-voltage/low-voltage systems), including:
    
    • Primary system design: Layout of transformer and distribution rooms, main circuit diagram design (single busbar sectionalized, ring network configurations), short-circuit current calculations, equipment selection (transformers, HV/LV switchgear, circuit breakers, bus duct, etc.).
    • Secondary system design: Relay protection configuration (overcurrent, differential, directional protection), power monitoring system (SCADA) architecture design, and power quality management (harmonic suppression, reactive power compensation schemes).
  • Design scenarios include industrial plants, commercial complexes, data centers, and new energy power plants (solar/energy storage).
• Project Implementation and Commissioning
  • Review construction drawings, and prepare technical specifications for electrical equipment installation (e.g., cable routing, grounding resistance requirements).
  • Lead commissioning of power distribution systems, resolving operational issues (e.g., transformer inrush current suppression, relay protection malfunctions).
• Energy Efficiency Optimization and New Technology Application:
  • Propose energy-saving solutions for power distribution systems (e.g., transformer load optimization, dynamic reactive power compensation).
  • Research renewable energy integration technologies (e.g., seamless transition strategies between energy storage systems and diesel generator sets).

• Low Voltage Electrical System Collaboration (Supplementary Responsibility, 30%)

• Assist the Low Voltage Team in Power Supply Design for Smart Systems (e.g., fire alarm, building automation, security monitoring), ensuring:
  • Reliability of power supply for low-voltage equipment (e.g., UPS configuration, dual-power switching logic design).
  • Compatibility between high-voltage and low-voltage systems (e.g., isolation between POE switch power supply and HV distribution).
  • Resolve issues related to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and conflicts in grounding systems (e.g., choice between isolated grounding for low voltage vs. combined grounding).

• International Standards Compliance and Certification Management

• Application of Standards and Certification Support:
  • Ensure designs comply with the following key international standards:
    • IEC Standards: IEC 61439 (Low-voltage switchgear assemblies), IEC 60947 (Low-voltage switchgear), IEC 60364 (Low-voltage electrical installations).
    • CE Directives: LVD (Low Voltage Directive), EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) – including preparation of technical documentation and testing.
    • UL Standards: UL 508A (Industrial Control Panels), UL 891 (Switchgear), UL 50 (Enclosure Ratings).
  • Lead or support product certifications (e.g., CE/UL certifications), coordinating with third-party testing agencies (TUV, SGS) to complete testing.
• Localization Standards Integration:
  
  • Harmonize international standards with local regulations (e.g., GB 50052 “Power Distribution System Design Code” and GB 50054 “Low Voltage Power Distribution Code”) to ensure project compliance.

• Full Lifecycle Technology Management

• Early-stage Support:Participate in project feasibility studies, and provide technical and economic analyses for electric system proposals (e.g., equipment localization alternatives).
• Construction Phase:Conduct on-site technical briefings, and resolve construction issues (e.g., cable tray routing overlaps with HVAC piping).
• Operation and Maintenance Phase:Prepare equipment operation and maintenance manuals, and develop contingency plans (e.g., flood prevention measures in distribution rooms, black-start procedures for diesel generators).
