PPC Controls is an R&D organisation and part of Vestas Power Solutions (VPS). Our primary focus within PPC Controls is to bridge the requirements of Transmission Systems Operators (TSO) with the capabilities of our Hybrid Power Plant controller. This involves the development of sophisticated control algorithms to enhance the functionality of our Power Plant controller to meet stringent grid code requirements.

Our responsibilities extend to the design of Grid connection offerings in alignment with emerging market demands and the ancillary services market (for example FCR, FFR among others). Our team comprises professionals, showcasing a rich diversity in skill sets, seniority levels, and ethnic backgrounds. Upholding the Vestas values of Accountability, Collaboration, Simplicity, and Passion, we have cultivated a culture that aspires to achieve high standards.

As a global team, our engineers are based in Denmark and Portugal. We maintain a close collaboration with our counterparts in Chennai, India, as well as throughout our value chain. This collaborative approach ensures effective project delivery, reflecting our commitment to quality.

Responsibilities

Design control algorithms for complex industrial applications and validate their performance. Exhibit good knowledge of software design and implementation, coupled with a solid understanding of electrical grids and power systems.• Design and implement control functionalities for power plant control using model-based design with MATLAB/Simulink. Proficient in using Linear Control Design tools such as Bode, Nyquist, Kalman, root locus. Familiar with basic concepts of Optimal Control, Model-Predictive Control & System Identification. Conduct verification of plant-level electrical performance in simulation environments such as Simulink Test/PSCAD and in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test setups. Assume a technical lead role in software development projects, applying V-model and agile project management principles.
