Controls And Instrumentation Engineer
CurrentResponsibilities include:- Creating new and maintaining existing electrical drawings for control and PLC panels and keeping them up to date.- GE wind turbine event log and power production acquisition and analysis.- Solar park production data acquisition and analysis.- Solar park design: solar panel string design/calculation, inverter, string combiner panel positioning in the solar field.- ABB/Fimer PVI central inverter 67kW modules installation, programming, setup and maintenance.I have been also including a little bit of computer programming/scripting into my workflow, mainly to automate the processing and presentation of data gathered from wind turbines and solar arrays. This is accomplished by using very basic Javascript and Excel VB scripting.An interesting and fun experience that stands out for me personally: "modelling" solar PV array in excel before building final solar PV array design in autocad. This greatly reduced chances for making calculation mistakes, gave me ability to quickly modify design without spending too much time redrawing it in autocad and overall greatly reduced the time it takes to design the solar PV array layout.
