As Technical head for Africa at APL, I supervised the following projects;• Booker Washington Institute Renewable Energy Center, Kakata, Liberia (USAID Project)• Kwendin Off grid Electric Project, Nimba County, Liberia (USAID Project)• Kumasi Offgrid Electric project, Kumasi, Ghana• Gashora Offgrid Electric project, Gashora Rwanda• Trained 61 Booker Washington institute (BWI) students and graduates (code named Biomass Brothers) on various hands-on and theoretical programs as listed below;o Power house administrationo Power generation, transmission & distributiono Power sales feasibility studieso 220V/415V Power Distribution system installationso Frequency (50/60 Hz) interchange in genset AVRo Power system operations and maintenance o Energy metering and billing systems o Pole planting, grid network and grid-tie/synchronizationo Step-up and step-down transformer installationso 33KV& 66KV sub-transmission systemso 110KV to 500KV transmission systemso 765KV and above extra high voltage transmissiono Delta-Star conversion and transformer operationo General linesman skillo Power availability and protectiono Power theft control o Power storage feasibility

My responsibility is to manage projects of which activities spans from working with the project designers through working with craft men. In order to effectively implement my duty, I have to understand the full detail of the project function; take for instant, in the installation of a power plant; clear and detailed knowledge of the power generators (Hydro, solar, gasifier, diesel, gasoline, LPG, LNG, or windmill) has to be obtained from the original equipment manufacturers and in some intricate cases, a direct link is established between me and the design team as to effectively maximize the potentiality of the power generator.The generators required conducive operating environment that meets all security and safety prescriptions of which engages me to work along with architects, civil engineers and vendors as to establish a conducive operating environment; the power transmission and distribution partners me with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers and tradesmen like electricians and mechanics.Record keeping and the management of project budget always makes my day end with an office hangout with a book keeper and data secretary.Therefore, my job starts from the very beginning of a project phase through an entire project period and terminates with commissioning making my presence relevant in an entire project life cycle.
