Thesis: Validation & development of a simulation tool for hybrid power plant projects. Full-time position: 1. Project engineering of several hybrid power plants projects, ensuring technically-viable components and lowest LCOEs possible 2. Carried out the drawing of plants' SLDs 3. Core participation in the planning of new technologies projects like Power to Gas, Molten Salt Energy Storage and Liquid Air Energy Storage.

1. Carried out the simulation & performance analyses of solar projects to improve performance 2. Supported the optimization of the system behaviors of solar energy systems 3. Created technical reports with a state-of-the-art tool 4. Verified and processed data on portals like KIX and be4Vision

1. Supervision of the O&M activities of 11 (PV) plants. 2. Analysis of single-line diagrams to troubleshoot under-performing or down inverters and inverter modules, and subsequent recommendation on rectification of concerned engineering issues. 3. Provision of technical assistance in the completion of all the punch-lists during the Provisional, Intermediate and Final Acceptance Certificates (PAC, IAC, FAC) of PV plants. 4. SCADA Monitoring of 17 PV plants including the daily tracking of KPIs.

1. Independently unraveled via research and data analysis, the wind and solar potentials of certain remote locations across Europe, Africa and The Americas. 2. Acquired and analyzed the transmission and distribution networks across Europe, Africa and The Americas 3. Discovered the business trends of power equipment manufacturers and made forecasts to stakeholders based on these.

1. Supervised the troubleshooting and faults-fixing of HV & LV distribution lines and transformers for peak-demand consumers; ensuring minimal downtime 2. Successfully carried out the data testing and analysis tasks in the design of 99.8%-efficient smart energy meters 3. Supervised the installation, commissioning and maintenence of these meters 4. Improved usage energy tracking, energy aggregation and remote monitoring of meter behaviors via Human Interface Machines (HMI)
