→Own and continuously maintain accurate distribution system models, including identifying and resolving questionable inputs and verifying critical field and GIS data as necessary.
→Develop and maintain a working feeder-by-feeder table of normal and emergency backfeed options, including seasonal/load limitations, switching constraints, capacity, voltage, protection, and other conditions System Operations must know before an outage occurs.
→Provide timely engineering support during outages and abnormal system conditions, including available options, associated risks, and a recommended path forward.
→Perform load flow, voltage, fault-current, and protection/coordination studies; develop or recommend protective device settings that balance safety, reliability, selectivity, and practical system operations; and translate engineering analysis into operating guidance and capital or maintenance recommendations.
→Identify overloaded or at-risk transformers, feeders, and system equipment using AMI, SCADA, GIS, field verification, and other available data; correct bad data and drive issues to documented resolution.
→Partner with Operations and System Operations so engineering assumptions reflect actual field conditions, construction practices, switching realities, and operating experience.
