Designed and constructed electrical power equipment involving generators, transformers, motors, variable frequency drives (VFD), substations, switchgears, and motor control centers (MCC.)
Performed power system studies including load flow, protective device coordination, arc flash, demand, voltage drop, transient stability, distribution reliability, motor starting, & harmonic distortion.
Prepared single line diagrams (power one lines), hazardous area classifications, load lists, motor starter schematics, conduit and cable lists, cable tray/raceway layouts; performed fugitive emissions and cathodic protection calculations.
Supervised installation, splicing, and termination of submarine power/fiber-optic cables.
Designed and constructed industrial distribution systems (69kV, 34.5kV, 13.8kV, 4.16kV, 277/480V, 230/400V, and 120/208V.)
Supervised construction, testing, commissioning, and start-ups.
POWER SYSTEM PROTECTION
Designed and constructed protection systems including high voltage (HV) vacuum circuit breakers, moulded case circuit breakers, time over current relays, instantaneous relays, directional relays, distance & differential relays, overload relays, ground fault relays, phase loss relays, etc.
Calculated short circuit currents at critical points in the power system like generators, transformers, substations, switchgears, motor control centers (MCC), utility bus, and motors.
Designed grounding systems, neutral grounding resistors (NGR), lightning protection system, and surge protection devices.
POWER SYSTEM CONTROLS
Generated schematics for programmable logic controllers (PLC), distributed control systems (DCS), supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA), and human machine interface (HMI.)
Developed control panel wiring diagrams including 24V-dc /110V-ac distribution, and input/output (I/O) diagrams for discrete and analogue signals.
Generated Profibus, Modbus, and DeviceNet communication layouts.
Prepared instrument specifications and datasheets, instrument junction box wiring diagrams, and marshalling panel layouts.
Designed automatic voltage regulator (AVR), automatic transfer switch (ATS), bus tie circuit breaker, load bank, automatic filtered power factor correction (PFC) capacitors, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and emergency shutdown system.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
Executed project activities — proposals, technical bid evaluations, planning, material take offs (MTO), cost and man-hour estimates, scheduling, resources management, purchase requisitions, vendor data reviews, progress tracking, and inventory control.
Performed constructability study, value engineering, HAZOP study, risk assessment, and quality assurance.
Reviewed FEED (front end engineering design) and DBSP (design basis scoping paper) for onshore and offshore projects.
Developed projects through conceptual/preliminary, detail engineering, and construction phases.
Worked as focal point in project centered multi-disciple teams.
Coordinated activities of design, vendors, sub-contractors, and clients. Maintained project files and logs including meeting minutes, telephone conversation records, and lessons learned.
Implemented the process of ISO 9002.
