Principle Engineer -HVDC Control & Protection System Application

Overview

The energy transition drives an unprecedented growth in demand for and generation of electricity. To accommodate this growth, the capacity of transmission systems is projected to grow three-fold. High voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems will connect remote and offshore renewables, interconnect energy markets and reinforce AC grids. Converter stations convert AC to DC and vice versa. The control and protection systems are central to the operation of HVDC valve technology, ensuring efficient, safe, and reliable performance of power electronic valves and peripheral equipment.

GE Vernova’s Grid Systems Integration business line offers control and protection solutions for both voltage sourced converter (VSC) and line-commutated converter (LCC) HVDC valve technologies to meet the transmission planning needs of utilities, system operators, developers and industrial clients worldwide. The control & protection algorithms are key to enabling HVDC tra...
