ETAP Modeling and Scenario Simulations

• Oct 2015 - Mar 2016

Provide ETAP modeling and simulation support for engineering of a GE LM6000 CTG addition to an existing generating station. ETAP support entails modeling of a precise one-line, from the CTG's direct-axis sub-transient reactance down to the lube oil heater cable gauge. Then, load flow, short circuit, transient stability, and arc flash analysis simulations to verify proper design and equipment sizing.

Combustion Turbine Generator MCC reconfiguration

• Sep 2015 - Oct 2015

This job's scope was the reconfiguration of MCC's in GE's 1970 style CTG's Control Compartment. This reconfiguration will allow more room for work while improving work and arc flash safety. These MCC's consisted of 125VDC, 120VAC, and 480VAC circuitry. My portion of the job was to track down conductor ID's which were unlabeled when the work began and modify existing drawings to correspond to the new MCC configuration.

Arc Fault Analysis

• Mar 2015 - Jun 2015

Arc Flash Analysis of the City of Ottawa's Municipal Water Treatment and Waste Water Treatment Plants, along with all there associated facilities. Everything from low voltage MCC's, MSC's, MCP's, Switchgears, VFD's, VSD's, Fused Disconnects, and Panelboards. Medium voltage 5kVA pole-mount to 1500kVA pad mount transformers. Dealing with LV Bus Arcing Currents of 30kA, all levels of PPE gear, IEEE Standard 1584, and NFPA 70E (2015) where <120kVA transformers are no longer exempt from arc flash analysis. Show less
