Renewables Control Centre Operator
1 week ago
Position Description
Renewable Operations is a division within ESB Generation and Trading with responsibility for the management of the Operation and Maintenance of ESB's renewable assets portfolio. This currently includes 26 operational wind farms with an installed capacity of 795 MW.
As part of delivery of the Brighter Future Strategy ESB it is our ambition that we will generate 70% of our electricity generation from renewable assets by 2030 with 1.7GW of offshore wind, 3.5GW of onshore wind and 900MW of solar (dependent on planning and development) and also to incorporate 500 MW of renewables enabling flexible generation assets including battery energy storage systems, peaking plants and grid support devices such as synchronous condensers.
A team of Control Centre Operators (CCOs) – located at ESB's offices in Dublin – monitors, coordinates and controls the day to day operation, maintenance and technical performance of the operational UK and ROI wind farms. This is conducted primarily by telephone and by using the SCADA or IT systems provided to track these activities. To manage the transfer of turbine control, the Control Centre Operator will be proficient in ESB's Wind Turbine Safety Rules and be passed out as an 'Operational Controller'. It would be envisaged that staff undertaking these roles would rotate off to other roles in the Renewables or Generation and Trading business after a 3 to 4 year period subject to business needs.
The new portfolio of flexible generation assets that are under development will be autonomous with no permanent presence onsite, and will be remotely monitored and dispatched from the same Control Centre. For information, whilst the assets will be controlled and dispatched from the Control Centre, there will be a high level of automation involved.
The Control Centre will be staffed on a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week basis by a team of CCOs.
