Contractor assigned to Yaskawa Solectria Solar, Lawrence MA. (on-site) Worked within the embedded DSP controls team on software that runs large commercial solar inverters. (The XGI1000 and XGI1500.) Added new features and solved software issues. Lead software engineer in Energy Storage project that required precise timing between 3 inverters in order to minimize circulating current. Designed and implemented a CAN bus communication protocol so that the 3 inverters worked in sync and acted as 1 larger inverter. This reduced overall system costs by eliminating the need for each inverter to have its own transformer.
