Professional Experience
1. Leena Powertech Engineers Pvt. Ltd. Mumbai, India
Technical Supply Engineer July 2014-July 2015
Leena Powertech is an Electrical Engineering Consultancy which undertakes projects related to Power Distribu+on, Building
Electrifica+on, Tower Construc+on, etc. My task here, as a Technical Supply Engineer, was to brainstorm on technical
specifica+ons and drawings of material aUer a project was undertaken. I had to plan, co-ordinate and execute projects with
various teams while analyzing delivery challenges (eg monsoon season).
Projects include:
• 33kV and 11kV Substa+on, 33kV Switching sta+on and Extra High Voltage (220kV) and 33kV Tower
• Hospital HT Substa+on: Feeder Bay Design, in 400kV switchyard for 4.5MW of load of the hospital
• Residen+al Electrifica+on of 175 units
2. SIEMENS, Mumbai, India June 2012-July 2012
Understanding the design and manufacturing of Interna+onal Energy Efficient Motors and exposure to tes+ng of motors
3. Lansing Board of Water and Light (LBWL), Lansing MI May 2016-Aug 2016
Electrical Engineer intern in project engineering department. Responsibili+es carried out are reviewing drawings and
studies, assis+ng in designs and other du+es varying as per requirement in project.
Engineering Projects at Michigan Technological University
• Capacitor bank switching transients when using Pre Inser&on Resistor: LBWL is installing a new 46MVAR Capacitor Bank
at a 138kV Substa+on. My project was to inves+gate switching transients and observe the effects of pre inser+on resistor
mi+ga+on technique which was further proposed to u+lity due to its excellent job in reducing the transients
• Real-&me control of Energy Storage for Micro-grid Stability: The project aimed at developing and controlling the system
comprising of Pb acid baeery, VSC-grid and PV source with bi direc+onal converter for islanded and grid connected cases
• Performance Analysis of Transmission line based on Placement of FACTS Devices: Simula+on of 5 bus system
incorpora+ng both series and shunt compensa+on in ASPEN based on Real Power Performance Index sensi+vity method
• Simula&on of LVRT on Wind power plants for various grid codes: The project focused into the performance of the wind
generator and its implica+on on its LVRT requirements for various grid code condi+ons
• Decomposi&on and Assessment of Loca&onal Marginal Price using ACOPF: Simula+ng ACOPF on GAMS for a 3 Bus
system to provide exact distribu+on of revenue to FTRs and LHRs collected from conges+on and losses by ISOs considering
both real and reac+ve power price.
