Jobtitle: Electrical Engineer Grid Connection Tech

Location: The Hague or remote or hybrid

Salary indication: Between € 4.500,- and € 7.000,- based on 40 hours a week (Gross)

Freelance possible: Yes

Background

Shell is accelerating the transition to net-zero emissions in collaboration with our customers and
across industries.This necessitates the creation of brand-new technology domains and technologies,
as well as the creation of brand-new business opportunities, such as the generation of renewable
power both onshore and offshore.The evaluation and development of concepts and technologies for
power transmission and distribution is a significant area of focus. Integrated, adaptable grids are
crucial.This is closely related to the direct generation and utilization of renewable power as well as
the electrolysis of water into hydrogen, also known as green hydrogen, as the primary candidate for
the conversion of renewable power into molecules.To help Shell achieve its goal of becoming a net-
zero emissions energy business by 2050, we are looking for highly motivated electrical engineers
with experience in power systems and power electronics to join our global community of power
technologists and work on challenging projects all over the world.

Where you fit in


You will assist Shell in its effort to electrify our and our customer's operations in order to reduce
carbon emissions.You'll collaborate with a wide range of experts in electric mobility, energy storage
and integration, electrification, and renewable power generation, as well as with the green hydrogen
teams.

What is the role

The role of the Electrical Engineer Grid Connection Technology will be to support the Wind and Solar
Technology Programs to deliver innovations for Shell’s Renewables and Energy Solutions businesses
and will include:

• Techno-economic optimization for grid connections for far and large offshore windfarms
• Grid integration design for both AC and DC solutions, with an emphasis on the power
quality, power electronics control and overall system dynamic stability under normal and
fault conditions
• Evaluating options to incorporate storage in renewable power generation assets
• Optimizing power conversion in wind and/or solar assets for both power and hydrogen
export
• Support ongoing external technology collaborations
• Work with sector decarbonization projects involving power transmission and distribution

What we need from you


Sound engineering know-how in the field of electrical engineering, closely collaborating with internal
experts and stakeholders:

• A learner mindset showing you are driven to understand, instead of to assume
