My research focused on novel wind farm collection system designs using direct-current technologies, machine drives, and design and control of power electronics.

Ft. Calhoun Nuclear Generating Station, Blair, Ne

From January through August of 2011 Michael worked for OPPD as an Electrical Design Engineering Co-Op at the Ft. Calhoun Nuclear Generating station in Blair, NE. During his co-op, Michael was a member of the Temporary Power team during the station's refueling outage. His duties included preparing necessary information for meetings, ordering various materials, and coordinating and scheduling power requests for welders or other machines. Outside of the outage, Michael's work included various engineering tasks such as research replacement items for discontinued components.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa Area

My main project involved developing a database of all wind farms connected to ITC's network with all relevant technical data. Other duties consisted of retrieving transmission line fault data from relays, using Fault Analysis and Lightning Location System (FALLS) to verify lightning caused transmission faults, and updating substation blueprints.
