Assist with final in-house testing before factory-acceptance-test for various projects -Tested and validated SEL-487E settings -Performed quality checks for factory acceptance test procedures, substation wire diagrams, and relay logic blocks. -Exposed to SEL internal training videos on various topics - transformer protection, CT sizing, SEL relay distance element, and SEL relay event report analysis.

Worked with Protection and Control Engineering group and assisted with the design of P&C schemes (distribution level) using reclosers, various SEL relays, and DFR's. My main project was to assisted with ground, phase, and negative sequence coordination of a SEL 651-R recloser. I tested various SEL relays using Doble equipment and ProTest software, analyzed abnormal current and voltage waveforms using BEN32 software and collected by GE’s D25 RTU. Exposed to tools like Aspen-OneLiner, SynerGEE, MathCAD, BEN32, and various GIS software to complete design tasks.Learned about TPU decision making process both as an administrator and as an Engineer. Exposed to Asset Management, Power Economics, and Project Management specific to Tacoma Power.

Designed, simulated, tested and manufactured demonstration equipment for a new line of products that combine Human Machine Interface and Programmable Logic Controller. I thoroughly tested the products hardware and software capabilities and wrote comprehensive technical notes, reports, and revised product manual.learned about the Automation Industry and companies like Allen Bradley, Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Schneider, Omron, Hitachi, Animatics, Compumotor, Emerson, GE Fanuc, Modicon, Watlow, and Yaskawa. I was exposed to how HMI's, PLC's, and RTU's work together within a SCADA system and learned different kinds of protocols used in the industry like Modbus, CANopen, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, DNP3, DF1, ControlNet.Exposed to software like WireShark to analyze and debug protocols, processing one signal and outputting another.
