Our client is looking for a Senior Data Scientist
Service description:
Within the company, the Grid Development – Power System Planning (GD/PSP) team is responsible for defining the required medium-term investments in the transmission grid. These investments are defined so that the grid allows the foreseen evolutions (new power plants, penetration of renewables, new consumption patterns…) and stays operable with the required safety and reliability criteria. Besides that, the team is also responsible to evaluate connection requests coming from new or already existing grid users.
To accomplish the latter task, the GD/PSP team performs simulations of the grid behavior which must be analyzed to determine the type of contract (firm/flexible) that can be offered to the grid user. The goal of the mission is to create an integrated tool based on existing scripts and on new scripts to be developed within the simulation environment which will prepare the model of the grid to be simulated for connection request. This latter part is currently performed manually, and the automatization is now required. To create the automatization tool, we are looking for a python developer.
Job description:
