which include accuracy, high downtime, high maintenance cost & high

quantity of repetitive failures.

. Monitor and control the level of nuisance alarms in unit or area.

. Work closely with drafting personnel, production and maintenance

personnel, vendors, consultant engineers, corporate engineering, and

construction contractors.

. Make Distributed Control System (DCS) changes using Provox / Delta V as

needed to trouble shoot instrumentation problems.

. Trouble Shoot instrumentation problems of various instruments such as

ON/OFF Valves, Pumps, Control Valves, Pressure, Level, Temperature & Flow

Indicators/Transmitters.

. Create and Modify PI&D's, Instrument Loop Sheets, Electrical Diagrams,

One Line Diagrams, Connection Diagrams & Process Control Schematics.

analyzing causal factors and root causes for incident releases and

injuries.

K&H Industries / Power Electronics & Control Systems Lab, Buffalo, NY

Aug '04 - Feb '06

Position: Research Assistant

. Assisted Engineers at K&H industries create One line diagrams in SKM

used for Arc Flash Hazard Analysis calculations and sketched One Line

diagrams in AUTOCAD.

. Set up experiments to study the effects of aging on incandescent,

fluorescent & compact fluorescent lights with DC input using prototyped

full wave bridge rectifier and compared results with AC Voltages to

analyze differences for completion of Master's thesis.

. Verified existing calculations used in IEEE standards for Rerated

luminous intensity, Rerated life & Rerated current at different Voltages

for both DC & AC Voltages.

. Calculated energy savings made using compact fluorescent lamps versus

traditional lamps

. Addressed major challenges faced by DC power in the 21st Century

pROJECTS cOMPLETED

Load Flow Algorithm:

. Implemented Newton Rapson method to compute bus voltages, real and

reactive power balance, and impedance matrix by solving non linear

equations using MATLAB.

. The minimum or maximum of the function can be found by finding a zero in

the functions first derivative.

Electric Motor Design:

. Simulated the rotor and stator design of a three phase induction motor

by setting parameters for specifications of 500 W at 1500 RPM with a

useful control range between 150 RPM to 5000 RPM with a power efficiency

of atleast 70 percent using RMxprt motor simulation software.

. Designed and simulated power driver circuits for unity power factor

operation, gate drivers for switching of all inverter IGBT's and avoiding

cross conductions.
