Original job description

Responsibilities include:

Providing technical support and guidance to develop transmission and sub-transmission infrastructure projects, plans and capital budgets to maintain the reliability and integrity of the FE transmission protection system.
Developing protective relay design specifications for transmission line and substation projects for use by Design Engineers in developing construction implementation packages. This includes specifying the types of protection schemes to be employed including specific details on relay models and communication architecture, instrument transformer selection, input and output contact assignments, etc.
Performing timely completion of modeling of the transmission system for short circuit calculation, relay modeling and coordination, breaker duty calculations and fault locating ensuring compliance with NERC, RF and FE protection criteria.
Developing relay settings for new and existing protection schemes. This involves performing relay setting coordination studies through the use of "time-current coordination" curves, "resistance-reactance" (R-X) diagrams, and step-distance diagrams, as well as the utilization of the short circuit, one-line, coordination graphics, relay checking and system simulator modules of the CAPE (Computer Assisted Protection Engineering) software program.
Participating in the peer review, electronic issuance, as-left verification and retention of all protection settings through the use of the company's setting management system - PowerBase
Performing timely analysis of automatic tripping of the transmission and sub-transmission systems. Gathering and analyzing SCADA alarm data, relay targets, digital fault recorder and relay event records and documents the findings in the ED Outage Analysis (EDOA) system. Following up on incorrect operations with work requests and corrective action plans to field personnel. Documenting findings and status of corrective action plans periodically to FE management and RFC.
Performing studies related to new load and generation interconnection facilities attaching to the assigned area
Performing transmission protection activities with the FE operating companies (distribution), other utilities, nonutility generation, the Regional Transmission Organization, and Reliability Councils
Following established procedures and retaining evidence to support compliance with the various NERC Protection and Control (PRC) Reliability Standards
Providing staff assistance to management and higher levels of professionals, as needed
Conducting technical research; Compiling and analyzing moderately complex data; Solving practical problems
Preparing technical reports and summaries; Making presentations when necessary
Demonstrating a solid commitment to all aspects of safety
Meeting customer needs by providing sound service and responsiveness.
Exercising sound decision making by developing alternatives and recommendations to technical work processes
Supporting FE storm restoration processes including performing assigned field storm roles during significant system disturbances
