Medior/Senior Python Developer

Our electricity grid is reaching it’s maximum capacity, preventing customers to get energy-connections.

The energy transition needs you as a Python Developer

One of the agile release trains that plays a crucial role is ‘System Operations’. We leverage smart customer products to maximize the grid usage. This means we operate in the real-time and 48 hour ahead domain. An example of what we do is called congestion management. We forecast loads on critical conducting equipment, when limits are potentially surpassed we request a trade on the energy market. We trade flexibility in consumption or production for money, effectively increasing the utilization of our grid.

At team grid-insight-management we build and improve every day on topology processing and connectivity-registry. This means that we model the physical grid in such a way that other teams can use it for grid-calculations, safety assessments and solution fulfillment.
