ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Oct 2013 - Dec 2013

Power Plant Design Proposal to Compensate for Generation Retirement

This course project is about proposing a system design to compensate the loss of a generator while

keeping in mind the economic, social and environmental factor. Assisted in calculating the losses for

different scenarios using the power world software.

Jun 2014 - Aug 2014

Automation of a Factory Assembly Line Using PLC Programming

This PLC training course-project aims at automating an assembly line in a timber mill to control

various cutting and drilling. I implemented the logic behind the control flow, on PLC devices

manufactured by AB and Siemens PLC, using tools like SCADA and HMI’s.

Feb 2014 - May 2014

Residential Power Generation Using a Generator Isolated From Grid

The goal of this project is to independently supply residential load, isolated from the grid using a

diesel-powered generator. I designed the methodology, analyzed load estimation and performed

cost-analysis of the physical installation of the generator, and the potential of coupling with a wind

turbine for efficiency. I also studied green-house emissions to assess its impact on the environment.

Nov 2013 - Dec 2013

Advanced Energy Grid System Project

The project deals with variation of system parameters such as voltage, power, transformer windings

and observing the load flow of the system. Had the opportunity to perform the operation on one of

the scenario and plotted the output which helped gain valuable experience in power world software.
