  Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain Designed and implemented a software to simulate the behavior of high-power transformers and reactances for wind farms. I used finite elements and coupled the electromagnetic and thermal equations to predict the heating of the materials so that the physical properties and geometries could be optimized by simulations and before prototyping. The software I developed gave the company a competitive advantage and a fast product design cycle and (to my best knowledge) they have been using it since… Show more Designed and implemented a software to simulate the behavior of high-power transformers and reactances for wind farms.
