GRIDRADIXSelected Projects
Ten cases across utility-scale renewables, high-voltage substations, hydro and thermal generation, pharmaceutical manufacturing and data-centre infrastructure — from grid-integration studies and root-cause diagnostics to emergency restoration of protection and automation systems.
IEC 61850FRA5 Data Centre — Mercury
This project combined protection engineering with industrial communications. The work covered both fast peer-to-peer automation through GOOSE and supervisory data integration through Modbus, providing a complete path from substation IED logic to operator-level SCADA information.
22 kV DigitalAmgen Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Facility
The main value of the project was the transition from conventional panel-by-panel control toward an integrated digital substation. Standardised IED engineering, structured communication and repeatable logic made a large 156-panel installation manageable, testable and maintainable.
Regional GridRegional Grid Integration
Validated transient stability and automated parameter studies to ensure grid compliance for new assets.
6–35 kV CHPMykolaiv Combined Heat and Power Plant
The project transformed isolated restoration tasks into a coherent protection-and-automation system. The emphasis was on operational safety, clear breaker-state logic, dependable trip paths and maintainable control functions across the reconstructed substation.
PV TransientsPV Plant Inverter Transients — Power-Frequency Surge Analysis
By modelling inverter control explicitly instead of assuming ideal sources, the study explained overvoltages that steady-state tools cannot reproduce — and gave the operator concrete settings and a repeatable model for evaluating new PV connections.
115 kV FEM115 kV Transmission Line — Conductor Sag & Failure Analysis
The work replaced rule-of-thumb line ratings with a physics-based picture of how the conductor actually heats, sags and fails in service — giving the operator a defensible basis for loading limits and reinforcement, and producing a peer-reviewed methodology that can be reused on other lines.
FEM ForensicsPower Equipment Failure Forensics — Multiphysics FEM
Multiphysics FEM turned post-mortem inspections into quantified failure mechanisms — showing where and why stresses exceeded design limits — so the utility could target replacements and setting changes at the actual risk rather than replacing equipment fleet-wide.
Plant AutomationMiddle Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant
The key engineering challenge was not simply replacing hardware, but rebuilding the behaviour of a complete generation-control function. The finished work restored the automated sequencing, field-signal processing and supervisory logic necessary for dependable hydro-unit start-up and operation.
Hydro ProtectionKaniv Hydroelectric Power Plant
This assignment strengthened the protection layer around generating equipment by combining device-level configuration with end-to-end verification of the complete protection path. Particular attention was paid to correct coordination between independent protection channels and the plant control system.
Utility-Scale PVUtility-Scale PV Engineering
Ensured precise BIL rating selection and validated protection schemes under fast front overvoltages.
HV SubstationHV Substation Diagnostics
Identified temporary overvoltage sources causing surge arrester failures, mitigating future outages.
330 kV GISDnister Pumped Storage Power Plant
The work combined high-voltage protection engineering with rapid restoration of secondary systems under constrained conditions. The main objective was to recover a dependable protection-and-control chain from IED logic through field signals and breaker commands, enabling safe re-energisation of critical 330 kV connections.
Substation DesignHV/MV Substation Design — Grounding, Shielding & Arrester Selection
A complete, standards-traceable secondary-design workflow — grounding, shielding, insulation coordination and arrester energy — applied consistently across projects in four jurisdictions, with reusable calculation tools that shortened design cycles and made every rating decision auditable.
1.5 MWIndustrial PV Plant Recovery
Successfully resolved critical operational issues in a 1.5 MW solar array, restoring full generation capacity.
