Power System Electrical Eng. | User Testing & QA | Data Analyst | AI
I am an experienced power system operations planning engineer with a transmission system operator (TSO). I am skilled in carrying out power system studies, data analysis, grid operations planning and technical reporting. I am proficient in conducting power system studies in PSSE, Powerfactory and CYME such as: ▪ Steady-state analysis ▪ Dynamic stability analysis ▪ Contingency analysis ▪ Short-circuit analysis ▪ Voltage stability analysis ▪ Line thermal loading assessment ▪ System losses assessment I can also analyze power system performance data comprehensively, using indicators such as: ▪ System Average Availability ▪ Index of Transmission Reliability ▪ System Load Factor ▪ Generation and Transmission equipment availability ▪ System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) ▪ System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) ▪ Unserved Energy I also have experience using AI tools to build simple automation workflows, including document processing and data extraction, to improve efficiency and reduce manual work. In grid operations planning, I have experience in keys areas such as: ▪ System load forecasting ▪ Power generation dispatch scheduling ▪ Planned transmission and generation equipment outage scheduling ▪ Planned gas infrastructure maintenance scheduling ▪ Fuel Adequacy assessment for thermal generation ▪ Developing liquid fuel procurement plans ▪ System Constraint Analysis I also write power supply assessment reports, operational and technical reports. Additionally, I also provide structured user testing and feedback for digital products, platforms, and applications. I approach testing with a strong focus on clarity, detail, and problem identification. For each user testing and QA project, I focus on: ▪ Identifying bugs, inconsistencies, and usability issues ▪ Providing clear, structured feedback that is easy to act on ▪ Evaluating user experience, flow, and overall functionality ▪ Delivering reports with practical recommendations I can also provide technical voice narration for engineering and educational content when needed. Professional training and certifications include: • Hitachi Energy: Certified on Network Manager SCADA Operations and NM Tabs Displays. • International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA): Trained on the electrical grid’s interface with nuclear power plants, including small modular reactors. • FICHTNER: Trained on initial masterplan activities and power system calculations using DIgSILENT PowerFactory tool. • Green Cities Energy and Infrastructure Program (GCEIP) and the UK Government Centres of Expertise: Basic and Advanced training on DIgSILENT PowerFactory. • West African Energy Programme (WAEP) & USAID: Trained on non-wires alternative solutions to electric power transmission network constraints.
