About us

Unitech Power Systems is an important contributor to the climate goals and the energy transition through several sustainable worldwide "green" projects. There is great demand for our services, and we need to grow our team of 45 recognised specialist engineers. If you see yourself as part of our strong professional environment, we encourage you to apply for a position with us.

Unitech Power Systems was established in 1985. After close to 40 years of operation, our consultancy is internationally recognised its expertise within design, analyses, and review of electrical power systems with all project phases, from early concept development to commissioning, measurements, operation, and incident investigations in the electrical power system.

Our main markets are the energy, power transmission, and industry sectors. We assist our clients in the energy transition, particularly towards offshore wind, but also other forms of renewable energy. Our main service areas are power systems analyses, electrical grid connections, offshore wind, and electrification with or without energy storage, safety and operations support, power management systems, high voltage cable systems, subsea power systems, power electronics and drives, studies and project support. We also develop digital twins and real time systems.

A high percentage of our projects are related to significant reductions of climate gas emissions as well as reneable energy production and transmission.

We carry out analyses in software packages such as DIgSILENT PowerFactory, Paladin Design Base (formerly EDSA), PSCAD, Flux 2D/3D, ETAP, Matlab, and FebDok.
