Full Job Description
ABOUT BASE Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time. ABOUT THE ROLE We are seeking a power systems engineer to lead the implementation and development of first-of-its-kind power flow studies for bulk and distribution system analysis of our distributed residential batteries grid operations. This engineer would lead the design of and conduct studies at the distribution and combined distribution and transmission service levels for next-generation aggregated distributed energy resources and their participation in power balance mechanisms. This engineer will work across multiple internal operations and business development teams, in addition to working with external utility stakeholders, to develop, run, and present power flow studies and results. This engineer will become an internal subject matter expert on distribution system design, dispatch, and control. What You’ll Do - Collect power flow study requirements for Base battery aggregation use-cases (i.e. transient stability, steady-state, and contingency analyses). - Choose the correct power flow study tooling for different use-cases (e.g. distribution system design, joint distribution and transmission system modeling). - Aid in the design and deployment of power flow models that are solved programmatically, and on a recurring basis. - Compile and present study results to internal and external stakeholders. - Advocate for standards amendments through active participation in standards committees and technical meetings (e.g. IEEE PES GM). What You'll Bring - Deep experience with power flow modeling tools and solver engines, ideally both transmission (e.g. PSS/E, PowerWorld) and distribut
