Key projects: Sizing and Procurement of Reserve Capacity (Central Europe), Coordinated Capacity Calculation (Italy-north) - Supported development of EU-compliant regional coordination services in collaboration with TSOs - Developed and tested proof-of-concepts using TSO data per ACER methodologies for reserve capacity calculation - Assisted business requirements drafting for software development, aligned with EU grid codes (Ele. Reg. 2019/943, SO GL 2017/1485, EB GL 2017/2195)

Project: Short-circuit behavior in LV isolated grids: Comparative analysis of synchronous generators and battery grid-forming inverters - Analyzed short-circuit dynamics in isolated LV grids using RMS and static simulations in PowerFactory - Developed and validated dynamic models of GFM inverters; benchmarked simulations against VDE0102/IEC60909 - Evaluated and compared synchronous generator vs. inverter-based responses, identifying improvements for inverter-driven grid stability and fault resilience

Project: Partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) prediction in electrical machines for aerospace applications - Researched PDIV prediction models for aerospace-grade insulation at high altitudes - Extended a single-air-void PDIV model to multi-dielectric motor winding insulation, improving tool accuracy - Carried out high-voltage PDIV testing on transverse flux machines for UAM propulsion, analyzing results to support tool and system development

Project: Evaluation of ESCR as a system strength metric for high-voltage transmission grids with RES integration - Surveyed system strength metrics and evaluated applicability to grids with high renewable integration - Calculated SCR and ESCR for 220 kV grid configurations using load-flow and short-circuit in PowerFactory - Conducted scenario studies to test ESCR robustness and optimized RES placement with ESCR and MAC criteria for secure grid integration

- Benchmarked PV modules, inverters, and storage technologies across key competitors, researched next-gen trends to guide product strategy - Supported different phases of product life cycle (launch, growth, product changes, and phase out) - Resolved warranty claims and coordinated client communications across Europe; conducted on-site PV plant inspections for root-cause analysis

- Engineered PV systems, including agricultural and residential systems; performed IV-curve testing on utility-scale plants - Designed and verified lightning protection and earthing systems for substations; identified defects and implemented corrective measures during commissioning - Executed protection and power-quality studies for industrial systems to verify safe operation under fault and abnormal conditions CONTACT
