Power Systems Design Engineer / Power Industry Expert – Hybrid Inverter Backup Power Ended

About the job

We are working on a project utilizing hybrid inverters with backup battery storage to bring frequency regulation to the grid. I am looking for a designer to assist in creating a concept hardware schematic as well as power industry experts who can help dissect regulatory and industry hurdles to bringing this project online.

High Level Hardware Requirements:
5 or less assemblies for 5kW-10MW loads
Less than $100 per kW
2 or less enclosures
1 second or less reporting interval
Safe for installation in a building
Fully modular
Simple installation
Use existing parts and manufactures




Detailed Hardware Requirements:

1. System Capacity & Configuration
Power range: Supports 5 kW to 10 MW installations.

Assemblies: 5 or fewer assemblies to cover the full range (scalable/modular design).

Cost target: Less than $100 per kW (hardware cost).

2. Physical & Structural
Enclosures: Maximum 2 enclosures per system (e.g., combined inverter + batteries in one, auxiliary in another if needed).

Form factor: Must fit in building-compatible footprints (meets local building codes for indoor/outdoor placement).

Modularity: Fully modular design — scalable up or down by adding/removing standardized modules.

3. Performance
Reporting: 1-second or faster data acquisition and communication interval for critical metrics (power, status, alarms).

Runtime: Minimum 5-minute full-load backup at rated power.

Inverter type: Hybrid inverter (grid + battery management i... read more

Inverter type: Hybrid inverter (grid + battery management in one).

4. Installation & Integration
Installation: Simple installation, minimal field assembly (plug-and-play wherever possible).

Parts sourcing: Use existing, commercially available components from established manufacturers (no custom electronics or exotic parts).

Compliance: Must meet UL, NEC, ANSI, and relevant building codes for safe installation.

5. Safety & Reliability
Enclosure rating: NEMA 3R or higher for outdoor or building-adjacent installation.

Protections: Overcurrent, surge, arc-flash, and thermal protections integrated.

Monitoring: Local and remote monitoring with fail-safe alarms. read less
