Holyoke, Ma

*Perform studies of transmission outages for potential reliability problems. Develop mitigating measures for problems found. Document and communicate solutions to relevant parties. Perform iterative second-contingency studies for outages. These outages had never been studied in that detail before.*Perform stability, voltage/reactive, short circuit, switching studies in PSS/e Python, EnFuzion & Aspen.*Expand the use of new software (TARA) to improve reliability and economic evaluation depth while decreasing manual work.*Identify and execute process improvements, including drafting checklists, procedures, and leading a seven-person team to implement new layers of information on the system diagram.

Holyoke, Ma
