To lead a group of professionals & use my capabilities in the best possible way for achieving
organization’s objectives and thereby developing my own career in the process.
Measurement Engineer, UL India Pvt. Ltd., Bengaluru (2015 – Present)
I have hands on experience in Wind Turbine Measurement (mainly Power Performance
Measurements). The responsibilities I take in the execution of Wind Turbine Power
Performance Project includes
• Understanding the customer request, basically the requirement of Purchase agreement
signed between the manufacturer and the Wind farm owner.
• Working with sales team for estimating the project cost after assessing the engineering
challenges involved.
• Coordinating with customer in freezing the meteorological mast position satisfying the
requirements of IEC and the purchase agreement.
• Selection of Sensors and validation of meteorological mast for quality measurement.
• Supporting customer in the selection of calibration lab to ensure less uncertainty in the
measurement.
• Inspection of Test site during the installation of measurement system to ensure the safe
installation of each sensor.
• Communicating with customer to get the required inputs and update about progress of
the project.
• Periodic data storage and analysis.
• Preparing short report on the observation of data check on a weekly/monthly basis and
discussing with customer if any symptoms of sensor malfunction/damage observed.
• Evaluation of the contractual warranty condition in order to assess the Performance of
the turbine against the warranted level defined in the purchase agreement.
• Finding possible root causes for Turbine under performance and suggest customer for
correction to improve the performance.
• Preparation of Final Report. It is a detailed report capturing each event from the
beginning of project, Evaluations, Results and informative plots.
• Addressing to customer queries if any.
• Designing new tools and upgrading existing tools for better performance, interactive
results maintaining the accuracy. Automating word documents for reducing the report
preparation time and maintain consistency in the report.
Based on the requirement I do support the team in performing other Wind Turbine Measurements
like Tower Frequency Measurement, Gearbox vibration measurement, LVRT measurement, etc.
• Understanding the customer request, the objective of test.
• Working closely with the German counterpart for allocating man power and measurement
system required for the test.
2. • Safe installation of measurement system following the guidelines and ensuring
uninterrupted data transmission.
• Addressing to customer queries in support of the expert team.
