EXPERIENCE
California ISO
Intern (Operations Planning) Jun 2016 –Present
 Created a transmission map for a particular area in SCE which is currently in the PI process book tool at CAISO
 Reviewed and approved transmission and distribution outages in the SCE area using GE PSLF, PowerGem TARA and EMS
Intern (Market Quality and Renewable Integration) Jun 2015 –Aug 2015
 Researched the compensation structure, planning and coordination requirements for reactive power by other ISO’s (PJM, NYISO,
SPP and MISO) and presented a report on the technical and financial compensation of reactive power which helped strategize
CAISO’s plan of action towards this initiative
 Summarized the stakeholder’s (SCE, SDG&E, PG&E, SCE, LSA, CalWEA) reviews on the integrating energy resources to provide
reactive power and development of a compensation scheme to aid grid architecture

Course Projects
 Reactive Power Markets: Dr.KoryHedman Jan ’15-May’15
Researched, analyzed and presented a competitive electricity market design for reactive power ancillary services versus
compensation for reactive power. Quantified reactive power using security constrained reactive optimal power flow
 Load Prioritization in residentialPV systemwith storage:Dr.AnnaScaglione Aug’15-Nov’15
Designed an algorithm for an on-grid residential system with installed solar PV coupled and coupled battery storage to optimally
meet the critical loads and minimize costs to consumers and stress on utility by maximizing renewable energy use
 Transmission Expansion Planning: Dr. Gerald Heydt Aug ’14-Dec’14
Simulated the equivalent, simplified Arizona Bulk Transmission System and provided an optimal model to include solar resources
which implemented transmission expansion planning.Maximized outputfromrenewable(solar) generationandreduced emissions
 Dynamic StabilityStudy: Dr.Vijay Vittal Aug’15-Sep ’15
The stability of a small four machine test model on the application of a disturbance was tested and critical clearing time was
determined. Used DSA tools (PSAT/TSAT) and GE PSLF for stability studies.
 Design and Simulation of PV string inverter system:Dr.Raja Ayyanar Aug’15-Oct ’15
Designed inverter stage,isolated DC-DC boostconverter stage,filters,currentloopcontroller,DC-link voltagecontroller and voltage
controller for the entire single-phase grid connected PV string inverter system. Implemented phase-lock loop and MPPT
 Modellingand Simulation ofa DFIG based Wind EnergySystem: Dr.Raja Ayyanar Sep ’15-Nov’15
Modelled and simulated a Doubly fed induction generator on PLECS and performed tests to analyzethesteady-stateand dynamic
characteristics.Thedesign wasoptimized to obtain the maximum power and current and speed controllers were implemented
 System SecurityStudy: Dr.John Undrill Jan ’16-Apr ’16
This projectinvolved thestudy of application of three-phaseand singlephasefaults on a simulated steel mill electricsystem.The
reasonsfor widespreadoutages werestudied andresultsof addingreactorsfor systemsecurity wereanalyzed.Theeffectof adding
a battery plant on the reliability of the system was also tested
 Protection Design: Dr.DanielHaughton Aug ’14-Dec’14
The protection schemeof a 14-bussystemwasdesigned usingtime-overcurrentrelay to protecttheradial system,impedancerelay
to protect the 230kV line and differential relay for transformer protection
