Electro mechanical simulation engineer to HVDC

You will be part of HVDC in Ludvika. ABB:s HVDC unit (High Voltage Direct Current) develops, manufactures and constructs DC transmission systems on a global market. The HVDC-technology developed by ABB is used to transfer electrical energy over long distances and for power transmission when using undersea cables. HVDC is also used to connect power systems. HVDC Light was also developed by ABB and is now highly requested on the market. The technology is suitable for power systems where overhead lines cannot be used or where power grids need to be strengthened. HVDC Light is also used for offshore connections of platforms and wind power farms.

Challenge: At the office for electromechanical plant design, we are responsible for design development for delivery projects and for tenders. Your tasks will be to support the projects with calculations/simulations within the electromechanical area. This is a wide area and e.g. includes station grounding, lightning protection dimensioning, electrical air clearance calculations, mechanical strength calculations and sound propagation analysis. Our projects are carried out in countries like Brazil, Ireland, PDR Congo, China and Germany and part of the department is located in India.
