• Built Clearway's Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) data model to summarize and report on all relevant energy storage accounting, charge/discharge cycles, standby losses, cycle efficiencies, etc.
• Integrated asset health and maintenance data into Clearway's maintenance and parts supply software (SAP, Maximo EAM, and internal SQL tracking)
• Architected and deployed Clearway’s weather and fuel forecast engine which ingests GOES, HRRR, GFS, and NBM meteorological data and provides 10-day weather & energy forecasts.
• Developed power curve clustering which tracks asset performance, and utilizes a support vector machine to flag both near-term performance derate events and long-term drift away from nominal power production.
• Data steward at the nexus of performance engineering, real-time production monitoring, and site operations engineering.
