Denver, Colorado, United States

P.E. licensed engineer responsible for relay settings of generation stations, transmission substations, distribution substations, battery energy storage sites (BESS), RTU configuration, and system studies.Additionally serve as a relay settings client lead, responsible for coordinating projects with clients and internal project managers, assigning engineers to projects and managing their progress, reviewing deliverables and providing comments, and mentoring new engineers.

Atlanta Metropolitan Area

Relay settings engineer responsible for relay settings of generation stations, transmission substations, distribution substations, & battery energy storage sites (BESS). Generation stations include fossil fuel stations as well as renewable sites. Developed settings and basis documents for line relays (step distance, differential, & communication assisted schemes), transformer differential relays (generator step up, autotransformer, & distribution), bus differential relays (high & low impedance), feeder relays, generator relays, meters, and BESS relays. Utilized Aspen Oneliner, PSSE CAPE, and ETAP to create short circuit models. Additionally served as a peer reviewer for other engineers’ work.Created settings files and points lists for remote terminal units (RTU) for generation, transmission, and distribution substations. Configured relays and meters to communicate with the RTU via SEL, DNP3.0, and Modbus protocols. Produced human machine interface (HMI) files using SEL Diagram Builder.Performed system studies using PSCAD. Studies include temporary overvoltage (TOV) and transient recovery voltage (TRV) studies for solar collector, transmission, and BESS stations.

Jackson, Michigan, United States

Relay settings engineer responsible for the creation of SEL and GE settings for static VAR compensator and transmission substations. Relay protection schemes included: transformer differential, step distance line, breaker control & failure, bus differential, harmonic filter, ground bank, thyristor switched capacitor (TSC), and thyristor-controlled reactor (TRC). Responsible for short circuit modeling used Aspen Oneliner and providing protection and control mark-ups.

Miami-Fort Lauderdale Area

Distribution Intern responsible for assisting the Delivery Assurance Lead to diagnose and resolve issues on feeders experiencing momentary outages by completing field assessments of overhead lines. Conducted field checks for proposed automated lateral switch locations to identify feasibility of installation. Supported service planners with new development projects by creating service meter orders, job sketches, and permit drawings. Attended improvement courses in communication ans Six Sigma process improvement, toured power plant and substation facilities, and shadowed an overhead crew.
