1. Anole BESS Project, 240MW/480MWhr (Sungrow batteries, JSHP MV transformers) located at Seagoville, Texas.(4/3/2023 - 6/25/2025).

• I worked as electrical design engineer for this BESS (Battery Energy Storage system) project from the initial stage to IFC, and did periodic site visits until the BESS project was built.
• Coordinating with the field team and other disciplines during the construction process. Once the site is built, be involved with the commissioning team throughout the process.
• Assisted the procurement team by reviewing equipment specifications, including MV transformers, Circuit breakers, T bodies, Surge Arresters, Grounding terminals, DC terminals, and UPS.

2. Community Solar - '6' 5MW (First Solar Series 6 PV modules, Solectria Inverter, WTEC row harness, PVH tracker) at Albuquerque, New Mexico (4/8/2024 - Currently working)

• I worked as an electrical design engineer for 5MW solar plant (ASG4 and XCEL1) from the initial stage to IFC, which is currently under construction. Involved in the design review of a 3- 5 MW solar plant from the initial stage to IFC.
• Supporting the procurement team by reviewing and approving the equipment used in the solar power plant (includes AC Combiners, Load break disconnect, Transformers, T bodies, Surge Arrester).

Software used :

• Used CYMCAP 8.1 Rev 03 software for performing an ampacity study for underground MV cables.
• ETAP software for performing a load flow study to check active and reactive power at the POI. Short circuit study to analyze the fault at various buses.

3. Bayou Teche Solar 125MW (First Solar Series 7 PV modules, Sungrow inverter, ATI tracker) at Louisiana (5/5/2025 - Currently working)

• Currently working on PDP (project development packages) for a 125MW solar power plant, which involves MV routing, DC routing for a sample section and do a Bill of Quantity to help the estimation team to bid for this project.
• Modified the PVsyst model by updating the losses and the first series solar setting according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

• Designed solar PV systems that can include BESS, EV charging stations and any other PV add on equipment. Prepared design drawing in AutoCAD that include site layout, line diagrams, equipment selection, module stringing, labels, datasheet to get through the pricing, permitting, construction and commissioning phase of the project.
• Created designs in helioscope and or AutoCAD for presentation as required.
• Worked along with vendors, suppliers and subcontractors to gather accurate pricing and quotes for the designs that's created.
• Did cost estimates for PV project and helped procurement team.

• I designed electrical single line diagram, panel schedule and connection diagrams for residential PV system.
• Designed residential solar PV system using aurora software, did shading analysis and energy production report.
• Assisted in site surveying to analyze interconnection process and structural evaluation of roof and ground mount PV system.
• Collaborated with utility and permitting teams to ensure the designs adhered to NEC and AHJ standards. Helped the company reduce the number of revisions and thereby decrease the turn around time of projects.
