How to contribute to our vision
The Turbine Control Functionality Development department consists of 15 dedicated engineers where are located in Brande and Skovlunde. We deliver competitive and high-quality control solutions that optimize the annual energy production of our offshore wind turbines without compromising the structural integrity and operational constraints in the sub-systems. We work on the forefront of technology and new product development. We play a decisive part from the initial ideation of new control concepts to the final type certification of the solutions and new products. In order to do so, we develop and maintain our advanced inhouse model-based control development framework and the toolchains that support it.
Our markets and customers are international and so are our teams. Across the Turbine Control Functionality Development department, we employ people of more than 5 different nationalities in an informal Danish working culture. We work closely together with our department handling optimization and validation of our prototypes and thus are a strong daily collaborator. We are likewise a part of the Loads and Control module where we collaborate closely with our sister departments in Loads, System Level Control, Project Management, Turbine Control Software and Power Plant Control. We are international and our daily work is in English as we have teams in US, India, France and Denmark across the Loads and Control module.
As a Control Engineer, you will be working with project specific turbine control solutions as a main control resource by either leading or supporting in all phases of the development process from requirements setting, proof of concept, validation and to perform feature certification. The outcome is to improve the annual production of the turbine to yield additional benefit for the customer, or to reduce the loading to specific components leading to reduced costs. The work will also include documentation, procedure updates, troubleshooting and maintenance of our offshore turbine controller together with your colleagues.
Moreover, you will:
- Design and develop control functionalities in accordance with our development processes and implementation into our inhouse model-based control development framework
