About Shima Shojae
Senior Electrical Engineer with over 10 years of experience specializing in transmission and substation engineering, high-voltage equipment, and power system studies across utility and consulting environments in North America.I am currently working in Austin, Texas as a Senior Transmission / Substation Facility Development Engineer at LCRA, Austin supporting transmission service provider activities within the ERCOT market. My role focuses on transmission and substation scoping, facility development, and early-stage project definition, working closely with planning, system studies, internal stakeholders, and external developers to move projects from concept through feasibility and readiness for execution.My technical background includes medium- to high-voltage substation design and system studies such as load flow, short circuit, grounding, and arc flash analysis. I have extensive experience in network modeling and simulation, and in delivering engineering projects end-to-end — from concept development and feasibility studies through detailed design, construction support, and final submission.Prior to joining LCRA, I spent several years working with major utilities and EPC/consulting firms, leading and supporting transmission, substation, distribution, and grid modernization projects. My experience spans HV equipment specification, system impact studies, renewable and storage integration, and collaboration with operations, construction, and procurement teams to deliver reliable, constructible, and schedule-driven solutions.I hold a Master’s degree in Power Systems Engineering and bring a strong track record of driving projects forward efficiently while maintaining technical rigor, safety, and compliance with industry standards. I am particularly interested in transmission development, grid reliability, and the evolving challenges of integrating new resources into modern power systems.
