Current- Power System Studies – Wind and Solar Farms
- Modelled the electrical network, performed studies, and prepared reports for preliminary and detailed design of BESS projects, solar and wind farms.
- Performed load flow analysis using PSS/e to determine active and reactive power requirements, under strict deadlines, to enable BC Hydro initiate feasibility studies for multiple wind farms.
- Conducted arc flash hazard analysis for renewable energy projects, using ArcPro 4, EasyPower, ETAP and methods outlined in CSA Z462 to determine the hazard at various equipment from 120 VAC to 240 kVAC and 125 VDC.
- Conducted harmonic and flicker analysis for wind farms, using ETAP and EasyPower, to maintain compliance with harmonic current and voltage distortion limits required by AESO, IEEE 519, IEC 61400, and CSA C61000-3-7.
- Performed ground grid studies for industrial and renewable energy facilities using WinIGS and CDEGS to ensure touch and step potentials at the site are below levels permissible by the IEEE 80, considering seasonal.
