Project: Enfinity Stardale Solar Park 1, Park 2 and Park 3 Substation Design Project (44 kV connection to Hydro One)• Assisted in development of Sub-station design drawings, protection & control scheme and telecommunication scheme by following HONI Interconnection rules.• Verified DC Schematics for relays by making sure panel connections and field connections are as it is required in scheme• Verified Substation’s three Line diagrams for CTs and PTs connection to various panels and equipment• Verified Panel Drawings by making sure equipment like relays, telecommunication, FT switches and Terminal Blocks are placed as it is needed• Developed Logic Diagrams for GE AND SEL RELAYS according to required protection and control schemeProject: East St.Clair Wind Farm Project (230 kV connection to Hydro One)• Developed Bill of Materials as part of proposal to determine estimated cost of the project, which required selecting specific type of relay to perform needed protection and telecommunication devices• Attended Regular Project update meeting to ensure the scheduled milestones are being completed on time. • Attended Site meeting with the customer to understand their requirements and ensure they are being delivered by actively seeking for feedback throughout the design level. • Performed Calculation for required battery sizing for the Substation to run equipment at least 8 hrs. after power loss and contacted Manufacturer to provide best possible quote on the required battery sizeProject: Third Line Substation Re-development Project (115 kV connection to Great Lake Power)• Developed Logic Diagrams using protection and control scheme for the project• Programmed various GE relays (L90, D60, &T60) and SEL relays (411L, 421& 387) as well as calculated relay settings by understanding relay operation characteristics

Toronto, Canada Area

• Involved in initial preparation of the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) program, an innovative project launched by Ontario Power Authority, to connect more renewable sources of generators to current grid. • Achieved distribution system code requirements by performing checks on technical information provided with applications to connect new 3 phase generators to existing distribution system. • Supported analysis on new generators to perform Connection Impact Assessment through studying loadflow, short circuit analysis and fault flow studies to determine impact on current power system.• Supported in updating publicly posted document (Queue list) to manage proposed generator applications every month thereby helping proponent understand their queue position and application eligibility. • Talking to proponents to communicate any concerns regarding proposed generators and helping themresolve it.

• Responsible for developing an unique solution with PEO Certified Engineer for existing problem within 911 call centre department • Provided precise work in developing a concept design and transferring it in to PCB using OrCAD 16.0. • Developed assembly language code logic and flow chart for ATmega8515 chip, which was used as CPU in design thereby enabling particular RS 485 Transceivers upon request. • Performed a unique task of dealing with PCB manufacturers to get quotation and finalizing Purchase Order.
