Leveraged comprehensive programming and network communications skills to manage the SCADA and DMS system for EPB’s fiber-backed Smart Grid, successfully overseeing software, servers, switches and over 2000 remote IEDs/RTUs including PV and BESS systems with third-party microgrid controllers. This resulted in improved system stability and enhanced grid reliability for approximately 180,000 utility customers.Developed and implemented advanced data solutions utilizing SQL, Python, Excel VBA, and other tools to ensure DMS model accuracy, streamline data pipelines between Oracle and Apache-Cassandra based historian databases, and automate daily SCADA reporting functions. This initiative led to more precise DMS calculations, robust data archival and has also improved Power Factor Control and Voltage Control mechanisms within the DMS.Enhanced utility infrastructure reliability and protection by using C language and other tools for developing backend calculations and creating user-friendly HMI displays that contribute to circuit overloading prevention and increased 12kV automation reliability. Spearheaded the successful configuration, deployment, and testing of Virtual RTUs (VRTUs) and SEL-RTACs for several BESS/microgrid projects, including an experimental microgrid controller developed by ORNL as part of DoE CITADELS, which paved way for future networked microgrid projects industry wide and at EPB.Improved internal workflows and accuracy of operations by creating a Python-based Phase Audit Application for field checkers and integrating switch order generation with SCADA/DMS. These projects have facilitated more accurate GIS/DMS models and better operational efficiency.
