WORK EXPERIENCE:
Electrical Engineer at Doosan Engineering and Services, New Jersey (Oct
2010- Sept 2013)
Designing of an Auxiliary Electric System (AES) for a 2x560MW conventional
coal fired plant:
. Review and comment on electrical sections of the engineering scope and
insure that "scope creep" is not impacting the cost limitations,
. Maintaining load list for input to various design programs,
calculations,
. Preparing Material Purchase Specifications, Sizing calculations and
Bill of Materials / Bill of Quantities for electrical equipments such
as Unit Auxiliary transformer, Startup Auxiliary transformers,
Emergency Diesel Generator, DC/UPS battery and charger, Medium and Low
Voltage Switchgear as per IEEE / IEC standards,
. Preparing Deviations and Clarifications,
. Bid evaluations for "Generator Step-up", "Unit Auxiliary" and "Startup
Auxiliary" transformers, as well as "Uninterruptible Power System" and
DC systems, Cables,
. Developing conceptual block diagrams, one and three line diagrams
(e.g. Fault Monitoring System, Phasing Diagram). Reviewing and
commenting on electrical drawings in comparison to the conformed
procurement specifications to insure compliance with the client's
requests,
. Completing System Studies such as power (load) flow, short circuit
with ETAP program.
Designing of an Auxiliary Electric System (AES) for a retrofit project
(Adding three 190MVA Steam Turbines on existing three 375MVA Gas Turbines:
. Maintaining load list for input to various design programs,
calculations,
. Preparing Bills of Materials, Bills of Quantities and Cable lists for
medium voltage and low voltage power and instrumentation cables
. Bid evaluation for Load Center Transformer
. Reviewing and commenting on electrical drawings in comparison to the
conformed procurement specifications to insure compliance with the
client's requests,
. Developing Control Cable Interconnection diagram from DCS I/O list and
vendor schematics
Preparing bid packages for several RFPs (5 coal fired and 1 oil fired,
ranging from 350MW to 1800MW):
. Reviewing contract for any unusual or contradicting requirements
. Preparing Deviations / Clarifications
. Sizing calculations, Preparing MPS and Bid Evaluations for various
electrical equipments
. Preparing electrical drawings
MSEE PROJECT EXPERIENCE:
Planning and impact study for a 1500 MVA transmission system:
A Planning and Impact study was accomplished on a 40 bus system with a
load forecast developed for a look ahead period of 9 years with a follow-
up N-1 contingency analysis while including the impact of a new generator
and a new spot load on the overall system complying with NERC guidelines.
Lightning and Switching Surges for Power System:
A Surge Arrester was selected to properly protect (provide a reasonable
margin) for a 138 kV transformer with a 550 kV BIL with the arrester on
the terminals of the transformer's HV bushings. Further, the surge
arrester was to be moved away from the terminals while attempting to
provide the same margin. The maximum distance that the surge arrester
could be moved and still comply with the original margin was to be
determined.
Designing a protection system for a sample power system:
It involved identifying zones of protection, one line diagram, selection
of CT / PT ratios and accuracy class. Transmission lines protection was
achieved with distance relays. Busbars, Transformer and Generator were
protected with percentage differential relays. Overcurrent relays were
used as backup for main protection. All relay settings were hand
calculated and coordinated in ASPEN.
Microprocessor Based Overcurrent Relay:
Designed and implemented a relay that monitors current flowing through a
line and trips when current goes beyond specified value.
COMPUTER SKILLS:
. Software : ETAP, PowerWorld, ASPEN, AutoCAD 2008, PSCAD/EMTP,
MATLAB, MS Office
. Languages : C, C++, Java, 8085, 8051 Assembly
. Web : HTML, JavaScript
. A course in computer hardware and networking
