ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Wind Farm and PV
Simulation
- Conducted MATLAB simulations
for wind farms and solar cells.
- Monitored and recorded
output every 30 seconds.
- Replaced STATCOM with a fixed
capacitor, documented its
performance.
- Calculated fill factor and
maximum power point.
- Analyzed resistive loads under
various irradiance conditions.
Automatic Plant Waterer
- Designed an automatic plant
waterer with soil moisture sensing.
- Utilized a soil moisture sensor to
monitor soil water content.
- Incorporated an automatic timer
for plant light control.
- When soil moisture reached a
predefined level, activated a water
pump to irrigate the plant until
reaching the desired moisture level.
Solar Cogeneration
- Implemented Solar-Thermal +
Photovoltaic Cogeneration project to
enhance solar energy efficiency.
- Focused on capturing heat energy
from the remaining solar energy.
- Concentrated sunlight on a row of
solar panels to raise their
temperature.
- Employed coolant tubes for
temperature control and heat
collection.
- Redirected collected heat for
low-temperature (75 C) heating of
air, water, subfloor, or other devices.
LEADERSHIP SKILLS
- Served as Project Coordinator at
Ole Sereni Hotel (June 2014).
- Led the installation of data, voice,
and TV cables.
