• Lead O&M High Voltage (HV) and Low Voltage (LV), UPS, DC, and battery systems for reliable, safe, and economical operation for simultaneous operations & construction activities (in live plants).
• Supervise reporting of commissioning execution to all relevant stakeholders in consultation with asset holder and project management of technical adjustments and other plant extensions.
• Address power monitoring system (PMS) software issue. The system is called Power DCS (PDCS) and consists of PGC (Power Generation Control), LSC (Load Shedding Control), and NDC (Network Distribution Control). It is a combined DCS, SCADA, PLCs control system to manage the grid connection, switchgear, and emergency situations.
• Review power network studies, limitations, needs, and prepare power system scenarios with contingency plans for each expected operation regime. That included the required operator response, the automatic system reactions, needed communications, and control measures. This contributed to the overall training and development plan for the operation and maintenance team members.

I prepared and led many training programs for PGC, LSC, NDC, LOGIC, MARK VI and other generator and gas turbine operation courses for operators and engineers on site. This was customized for each group and revised when needed.
