Accountabilities

- Develop tools and processes to improve understanding of interconnection capacity, network upgrade costs, and congestion and curtailment risk for generator interconnection options, including basis differential risk between local LMP and major settlement hubs

- Conduct studies and analysis, internally or through consultants, to find most advantageous locations to interconnect renewable energy projects to the transmission system from a generator deliverability perspective

- Understand and assimilate applicable Open Access Transmission Tariffs, interconnection rules and procedures in all applicable jurisdictions

- Assist origination and development teams in the preparation, submittal and management of interconnection requests to various RTO’s (Regional Transmission Organizations) and provide guidance to project developers in navigating the various interconnection processes.

- Participate in ISO/RTO stakeholder processes to represent Liberty’s interests and influence interconnection process rulemaking.

- Develop strategy for future projects with respect to interconnection challenges & solutions.

- Work with senior management to develop long term interconnection strategy for renewables business that supports corporate objectives

- Determine the level of engineering analysis required at the various stages of project development in order to understand and evaluate interconnection challenges.

- Work with other teams within the Business Development department to understand needs and develop tools to aid in improving efficiency and success rate in identifying new project opportunities

- Directly perform and, when needed, work with electrical engineering consultants to perform power system studies (injection capacity, generator deliverability, congestion and curtailment).

- Direct interface with the Transmission Owners in terms of design interfaces and technical standards.

- Direct consultants and internal resources to conduct necessary studies in support of interconnection options analysis and evaluating need and cost for required system reinforcements.

- Manage electrical engineering consultants for the production of relevant specifications, studies and drawings as required to support the interconnection process.

- Work with equipment suppliers to obtain technical data and equipment dynamic models used for transient stability, voltage ride-through and frequency ride-through analysis by RTOs, utilities, and consultants.

- Research, understand and recommend application of emerging technologies as they may relate to, or benefit, the broader corporate mandate of sustainable power generation asset development and growth.

- Emerging technologies will involve telemetry and communications, power electronic-based DC/AC conversion, reactive power generation and compensation, and ancillary products and system benefits such as low or zero voltage ride through, primary frequency response, black-start features, etc.

- Research and recommend cost and optimization benefits of emerging technologies.
