Leading 4-5 future MY All-Elctric-Vehicle platforms in JLR. I provide the technical expertise needed to incorporate the HV Power Systems requirements making the products more robust and loved by the customers. Keys Responsibilities of my roles are: Designing system level requirements, validating these requirements, technical issue resolution, and getting the vehicles certified according to the different market regulations and applicable standards (homologation)

My master thesis focuses on harnessing the Building Thermal Inertia for the Inertial frequency support. • Recognized the potential for the cheaper inertial frequency support via thermally controlled loads • Development of control strategy for these aggregated Thermal loads and usage of their inherent thermal inertia • Fabrication of state-of-art controller and possible implementation in the Simris village Microgrid

• Worked on EU funded H2020 Interflex Project, which aims to demonstrate that a DSO is able to actively observe and smartly use the rural micro-grid’s ability to respond to merit orders for flexibility. • Achieved higher renewable penetration in the Microgrid located in Simris, Sweden, by utilizing the customer load flexibility through INTERFLEX Project (partly funded by EU). • Spearheaded the deliverable 8.1 & 8.2 for the H2020 report • Developed Dynamic Pricing Model for new market

HIWI job at IFHT department  Contributing to the departmental research by improving the scripts in MATPAT.  Delivered a script offering flexibility in percentage of renewable energy penetration, so that its effects on system stability can be easily studied.  Innovated a Droop control schematic for implementing the guideline from Transmission Code 2007, to limit the active feed from renewables when the system frequency goes beyond 50.2Hz.

HiWi job at ISEA Job involved analysing the stochastic difference in inner resistance in a battery string and its influence on ageing in MATLAB.  Redesigned and delivered a Complex Lead-acid battery MATLAB model to demonstrate realistic aging behaviour of the Battery pack as whole which can encompass the effects of corrosion and aging, making it more generic in nature.

- Worked on Baner Office expansion, in-house project, ELDFISK (Norwegian project). My work majorly involved designing the electrical aspects of powergas plants. - Performed fault level calculations, system studies, lighting calculations, earthing calculations, power factor correction, cable sizing etc. - Prepared the specifications for the procurement of major electrical equipments like trafo, DG, MCC, PCC etc. - Engineered the power, earthing and lighting layouts for the clients.

• Supervised a team of 15 workers and managed them for maintenance activities in the assigned area. • Achieved savings of 17000$ annually by suggesting 10 Kaizens of which 3 were fully implemented. • Attained increased machine availability by 3-4% by executing proper scheduled maintenance. • Hiked productivity of the ball-mill by 1.2% and decreased the mean time between failures.

Power System Dynamics, Modern Control System, Power Cables, Electrical Drives, Electrical Battery Systems, Automation of Complex Power Systems, Modelling and Simulation Techniques

As a part of bachelor thesis, I analyzed and fabricated a harmonic filter for a PMSM motor. Among my favourite subjects were Power Systems, Control Systems, Network Theory, Power Electronic & Electrical Drives, and Machines.
