JOB SUMMARY

Dominion Energy Virginia’s Electric Transmission (ET) department is seeking motivated, engaged engineers to fill multiple vacancies. All internships are on-site and will be located at one of the following office locations: Innsbrook in Glen Allen, VA, Magnolia System Operations Center in Richmond, VA, or Lincoln Park in Herndon, VA.
Electric Transmission is responsible for the long-term planning, engineering, construction, and operations of the high voltage electric grid system operated from 69kV to 500kV. The grid is accountable for transmitting electricity from state of the art solar and wind facilities, integrating those technologies into the energy portfolio, and delivering the power to our many 2.7 million customers including the world’s largest cluster of internet data centers.
System Protection – Responsible for the design, modeling, and development of protective relay applications.
Substation Protection & Control Design: You will help create and modify protection and control design documents for substation projects including relay functional drawings, diagrams (logic/wiring), and bills of materials.
Substation Data Communications: You will support substation upgrade projects, operational assistance to in-service substation data communication equipment, and evaluation of emerging technologies including Data Concentrators, I/O processors, and protocol converters.
System Protection Standards: You will help develop, maintain, and support system-wide standards for protection, communications, metering, and control application. This team also tests and recommends new ways to improve safety, reliability, and efficiency.
System Protection Engineering: You will be involved in developing settings for protective relays that detect and isolate electrical faults within the power system.
ET Planning – Responsible for short-term and long-term strategic planning initiatives.
Area Planning: You will assist with ensuring system adequacy in the next 5 years, as well as monitoring conditions developing within the next 15 years. You will learn how to run power flow studies and find solutions to reliability concerns.
System Modeling: You will carry out data mining and analytics on historical data to validate power system models and load forecasts. You should be comfortable with creating, maintaining, and using data/databases.
Strategic Studies: You will learn to perform stability, sensitivity analysis and power flow studies to ensure reliable operation and evaluate future load growth, generation retirements, and integration of renewable energy resources.
Planning & Strategic Initiatives: You will work within the PJM queue process, performing power flow and dynamic analysis to reliably inject new generation into our system. This team works closely with the CVOW and DER projects.
Operational Engineering Support – Responsible for ensuring compliance and maximizing reliability, and for providing operational support during planned and emergent activities.
Operational Support & Reliability: You will help to ensure asset management activities meet the requirements for maximization of reliability.
System Protection Automation & Analysis – You will help to ensure electric grid reliability by analyzing system events 24/7 using a combination of technical skills including data processing, software development, and engineering principles.
