renewable grid integration studies (Load flow studies, contingency analysis, calculations, short circuit
analysis and voltage stability analysis) and wind farm internal loss calculations.
 Experience in power system simulation software such as PSS/E and ATPdraw.
 Python scripting for PSSE software (developed scripts for load flow studies, contingency analysis,
voltage stability studies)
 Power system network database preparation.
 Strong modeling skills of the various electrical equipments on simulation tools.
 Result data compilation and technical report writing.
 Demonstrated competence in a pressurized consultancy environment.
 Demonstrated ability to convince client on technical queries.
 Conducted technical presentations to clients.
 Functional knowledge of CEA transmission planning criteria, IEC 60071 standards, CIGRE working
group and IEEE working group documents relevant to IC studies.

Projects Summary

Client: National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC). [ATPdraw]

Project: Insulation coordination study for 400kV switchyard, NTPC Telangana.

Project features: Lightning overvoltage studies (Back flashover and Direct strike) and switching
studies.
Role and responsibilities:
 Collection of the input data from the client.
 Development of the SLDs.
 Modeling of the LA (freq dependent model) as per its datasheet.
 LA testing and tuning.
 Tower surge impedance calculations.
 Critical stroke current calculations for direct strike and back flashover
  Preparation of the electrical model of the GIS switchyard for lightning and switching studies in
ATPdraw.
 Identification the switchyard operating scenarios/cases for the lightning overvoltage studies.
 Running the simulations and checking/validating the adequacy of the insulation or Lightning
arresters.
 Compilation of the plots, results and preparation of the draft report.

Client: Sterlite power Transmission Limited [ATPdraw]

Project: Insulation coordination study for 400kV Prithala substation.
Role and responsibilities:
 Discussion with client, LA re-tuning to match the LA residual voltage to the data sheet value,
draft report revision.

Client: Suzlon wind energy limited. [PSS®E]

Project: Power evacuation studies for Lakhpat WF (252MW)

Role and responsibilities:
 Provided feedback on the project deliverables, project duration, project scope & challenges.
 Telephonic discussion with the client on methodology involved in the studies.
 Receiving data from the client about total generation MW approval, SLD of pooling substation,
grid integration point, location of plant, GTP of conductors used in evacuation and no of circuits,
GTP of the transformers at pooling substation, bus arrangement at the pooling substation.
 Planning data collection, required for the studies, from the central and state utilities.
 Preparation of site visit report and generation report.
 Modeling of the network after finalizing site visit and generation report from client.
 Data base update in Excel sheets- bus data, generation data, transformer data, reactor data and
load data.
 Used Excel sheet and macros to prepare *.raw comprising network data.
 Developing GUI or *.sld file of the transmission network.
 Identifying load generation scenarios for the study. Identification of swing bus.
 Load flow studies carried out using *.raw file for present and future network conditions.
 Solving convergence issues in PSS®E.
 Preparation of python script (*.py files) for the load flow studies and contingency studies to
compile the result in the Excel format.
 Preparation of *.seq file using Excel macros for short circuit studies.
 Preparation of python script for voltage stability studies. Preparation of Excel sheet for plotting
QV curves.
 Preparation of draft report and report approval from the client.
 Following up for the payment after report approval.

Project accomplishments: Delivering projects on time was on highest priority at the same time maintaining
quality at every stage of the project. Extensive uses of Excel software tool and automation files (*.py and
*.idv) help reduce considerable time on the project.
