Proficient in AutoCAD and skilled in leadership, driving projects that significantly minimize energy loss and improve service quality.

• Solar Maximum Power Tracking Project taken up while pursuing Bachelor degree - A solar tracking system was designed, employing a PIC microcontroller and a stepper motor, which successfully achieved an efficiency gain of approximately 50% more than fixed one.
• Successfully led numerous projects focused on the Transmission and Distribution (T&D) loss reduction program.
• Conductor and cable upgrades: Replacing old conductors with newer, larger cables reduces resistance and increases capacity, especially in high-usage areas.
• Transformer optimization: Use life-cycle cost analysis to ensure transformers are the correct size and type for the load they serve. Install more step-down transformers closer to load centers to inject current at more points, reducing the distance it must travel.
• Voltage levels and planning new infrastructure with efficiency in mind can significantly cut losses.
• Replacement of higher power transformers with two or more lower-capacity transformers as part of a High Voltage Distribution System (HVDS) scheme, which successfully reduced the length of the low-tension (LT) line network.
• Operational and management strategies.
• Load balancing: Redistributing loads across three-phase circuits to ensure currents are balanced improves transformer efficiency.
• Power factor correction: Using capacitor banks along the lines can improve the power factor and reduce losses.
• Advanced metering: Implementing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and smart grid technologies provides the data needed for detailed, real-time analysis to identify and fix problems.
• Operational efficiency: Adjusting operational procedures and using advanced technologies together can minimize losses.
• Non-technical loss reduction Meter tampering detection: Using smart meters to detect tampering and taking corrective action against by-passing meters.
• Enforcement: Implementing policies like police action to disconnect illegal connections and pursuing legal action to recover unpaid debts can increase revenue for utilities with high non-technical losses.
• Managed office formalities involved in power sanctioning process for a variety of installation categories, including domestic, commercial, industrial, and agricultural users.
