Principal Systems Consultant | Renewable Energy Solutions Expert

Profile Summary

I am a Principal Systems Consultant and Energy Engineering Professional specializing in power systems analysis, renewable energy integration, and high-mass kinetic storage design. Through my independent consultancy, I deliver bankable energy yield reports and grid stability simulations that enable project financing and ensure grid code compliance for a global client base. Whether you are an industrial or residential stakeholder, I focus on maximizing your system's efficiency, reducing operational costs, and providing strategic advice on sustainable energy transitions. Core Expertise & Services Power Systems Analysis: Load flow & short circuit analysis, 132kV substation design, and power factor correction. Renewable Energy Integration: Solar PV capacity optimization, wind farm aerodynamics, and hybrid wind-solar-storage architectures. Advanced Energy Storage: Techno-economic modeling and architectural design of Long-Duration Underground Gravity Energy Storage (UGES) systems. Technical Consulting: Generating bankable P50/P90 energy yield reports, identifying cost-saving measures, and managing multi-disciplinary stakeholder engagement. Software Proficiency Power & Energy: ETAP, PvSyst, HOMER Pro. Modeling & Simulation: MATLAB/Simulink, QBlade, PyWake, PLAXIS 3D, SOLIDWORKS, UNISIM. Key Projects & Impact Long-Duration Storage (UGES): Architected a 50 MWh/day UGES system integrated with a 50 MW wind farm, creatively repurposing a 494m coal mine shaft. The structural integrity of the system—utilizing Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) and a 997-tonne concrete block was validated through rigorous simulation, achieving a Factor of Safety (FoS) > 50. System Efficiency Optimization: Developed custom cycle-time modeling scripts in MATLAB for the UGES project, securing an 82% round-trip efficiency. Grid Stability & Substation Design: Supported 132kV substation operations by optimizing a 3.6 MVAR capacitor bank, successfully improving the grid power factor from 0.840 to 0.995. Professional Recognition Recognized with the Excellence in Energy Engineering Studies Award by the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE). Proudly served as the President of the Energy & Environmental Engineering Society (EEES).
