• Designed and simulated two-output voltage-mode controlled CCM Flyback converter using the Simulink and MATLAB’s SISO tool.

• Modeled and perform the unbalanced load flow of the IEEE-34 bus system and identified the weak buses and improved the bus voltages using capacitor bank and voltage regulator in ETAP.

• Designed and simulated the PWM Unipolar and Bipolar Full Bridge Converter for the variable torque constant speed separately excited DC motor.

• Designed and simulated a Three Phase Grid-Tied Inverter with Phase Locked Loop (PLL) and PI controller to regulate the DC bus voltage.

• Designed and simulated a 240V AC grid connected solar PV and Battery system with the MPPT, inverter and battery control in a MATLAB Simulink.

• Studied and analyzed the effect of residential and community scale energy storages on an active distribution feeder.

• Performed the closed loop protection system (physical protection relay) testing with the RTDS simulator.

• Analysis of a building’s HVAC system using the RTU and zones VAV data and found the problems and their solutions to reduce the energy consumption of that building.

• Developed an algorithm to detect capacitor aging in the output stage of Buck Converter and its control using switching frequency in the MATLAB Simulink.

• Designed the capacitors at PCC to improve the voltage at the PCC and further testing of the Loading margin.
