Main Mission – Repowering of photovoltaic plants: Perform a state-of-the-art review of the repowering market for photovoltaic plants in France (market maturity level, regulatory and economic framework, players, technical challenges) Develop a methodology to study the technical opportunity, and potentially the economic opportunity, of performing plant repowering Produce technical standards for the execution of this type of study Application of the technical methodology to concrete cases on missions Secondary Mission -- Performance analysis of photovoltaic plants Take charge of and carry out the continuous improvement of Artelia's existing performance analysis tool Add functionalities to this tool for the in-depth analysis of plant performance (inverter performance, derating, module degradation) Produce technical and commercial standard deliverables related to this tool Application of tool improvements to concrete cases on missions Complementary Mission: Study Support: discovery of the daily life of a PV design engineer You may be occasionally mobilized by project managers to participate in the execution of missions for our clients, such as feasibility studies, Due Diligences, yield studies, and photovoltaic plant audits. Your Team Independent of any industrialist or investor, ARTELIA offers a full range of consulting and engineering services in the energy field. You will join the Energy Storage/Photovoltaic pole of the Renewable Energies (EnR) department. The EnR department has been working in the field of photovoltaics, wind, and storage since the early 2000s and consists of about fifty people from diverse backgrounds, creating great diversity (M/F, nationality, age...), an enthusiastic mix of dynamism and experience. This department is organized into poles (Photovoltaic, Storage & Flexibility, Wind, and Multi-Energy) in order to develop expertise within them and put it at the service of projects while ensuring the transversality necessary for hybrid projects. The missions carried out cover: A wide spectrum of services: (strategy, feasibility studies, simplified and detailed preliminary designs, tender documents, execution study reviews, and construction supervision, consulting, audit) while acting as Project Manager (MOE) or Project Management Assistant (AMO)
A great diversity of projects: ground-mounted, floating, rooftop, solar carports, grid-connected or not, with or without storage,
A great variety of clients: international funders, energy developers, local authorities...
A diversity of locations: France, DOM-TOM, Argentina, El Salvador, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Benin, Togo, Niger, Vietnam, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique...
Our team intervenes, for example, on the reconfiguration of the electrical distribution of an industrial site in France following a photovoltaic self-production project, or on hybrid plants in Kenya, or even on the grid connection of a large ground-mounted plant project in Central America.
