You will provide technical expertise in electrical design, commissioning, and performance management of BESS projects across Malaysia.

Key Responsibilities

1. BESS Electrical Design & Integration

  • Design and validate electrical architectures for grid-scale BESS (DC-coupled, AC-coupled, HV / MV systems).
  • Size and specify critical components :
  • PCS (Power Conversion Systems)
  • , transformers, switchgear, protection systems, and cabling.
  • Ensure compliance with
  • Malaysian grid codes
  • (GCP, MS IEC standards) and international norms (IEEE 1547, IEC 62933).
  • Model system performance (e.g., using ETAP, PSCAD) for grid stability, fault response, and power quality.

2. Commissioning & Field Execution

  • Lead on-site commissioning of BESS systems, including
  • FAT / SAT (Factory / Site Acceptance Testing)
  • Troubleshoot electrical issues : grounding, insulation resistance, relay coordination, arc-flash safety.
  • Supervise contractor work for electrical installations, ensuring compliance with design specs.
  • 3. Performance Monitoring & Optimization

  • Develop BESS control strategies for grid services :
  • peak shaving, frequency regulation, solar smoothing
  • Analyze SCADA / EMS data to diagnose efficiency losses, thermal issues, or degradation.
  • Optimize system performance for revenue stacking (energy arbitrage, ancillary services).
  • 4. Technical Documentation & Compliance

  • Prepare electrical schematics, SLDs, protection coordination studies, and HAZOP reports.
  • Ensure adherence to
  • Suruhanjaya Tenaga (Energy Commission)
  • regulations and local safety laws.
  • Support project permitting and grid interconnection applications.
  • 5. Vendor & Stakeholder Management

  • Evaluate BESS integrators, PCS suppliers, and balance-of-plant contractors.
  • Collaborate with solar PV teams for hybrid plant design.
  • Provide technical support to EPC, O&Ms, and business development teams.
  • 6. Safety & Reliability

  • Implement HV safety protocols (PTW, LOTO) during commissioning / maintenance.
  • Conduct root-cause analysis for electrical failures or safety incidents.
  • Define maintenance procedures for electrical components.
  • Qualifications

  • Degree : Bachelor’s / Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or Renewable Energy Engineering.
  • 3+ years in grid-scale BESS, solar PV, or power systems engineering.
  • Hands‑on experience with PCS (Sungrow, SMA, Tesla, etc.), MV switchgear, protection relays (SEL, ABB).
  • Proven track record in BESS commissioning and grid interconnection.
  • Experience in renewable energy EPC / projects is highly advantageous.
  • Expertise in AC / DC power systems, protection schemes, and grid compliance.
  • Proficiency in simulation tools : ETAP, PSCAD, DIgSILENT, PVSyst (BESS mode).
  • Knowledge of BMS integration and communication protocols (CAN, Modbus, IEC 61850).
  • Familiarity with battery testing (capacity, round-trip efficiency, thermal runaway).
  • Strong problem-solving for field electrical issues.
  • Ability to manage contractors and cross-functional teams.
  • Excellent report writing and presentation skills.
  • Experience with containerized BESS and liquid‑cooled systems.
  • Knowledge of Malaysian ancillary services market and grid-support requirements.
  • Certification : TNB CIDB, HV Switching, or similar.
  • Familiarity with SCADA / EMS platforms (e.g., PXiSE, POMCUBE).
