Technical Experience (9-Years) 1. National Power Control Center (3-Years) 2. Shift Engineer at 500 KV Grid Station (5-Yrars) 3. Executive Engineer 500 KV Transmission Line (01-Year) Network Monitoring Monitoring load of Transmission lines & Transformers tacking into account the generation pattern equipment outages and seasonal load requirements Periodic. Network analysis to a examine system stability, security and ensure quality of supply according to prudent utility practices. Load flow analysis and monitoring of key Transmission lines employing state estimator/software tools. I examine the daily production cost of the system and analyze the factors affecting the cost prepare report. Seasonal Configuration Device and supervise implementation of seasonal network configurations and recommended modification of protection schemes accordingly. Shutdowns of Routine & Emergent Nature
Employing software tools study shutdowns of transmission lines, transformers, bus bars, circuit breakers and allied equipment, Identification and verification of the Switching required and establishing shutdown period to minimize its effect on Industrial and commercial customers. Network analysis for multiple shutdowns for scheduling outages and planning. Coordinate in preparation of annual power position incorporating generation and transmission line in such a way that load and requirement are met through out the year.

Fault and Contingency Analysis Analysis of faults, tripping indications, trip order and sequence of events, fault and post fault conditions and preparation of fault reports Contingency analysis and Identifications of weak links and corrective actions to ensure stability of the system. Switching of shunt reactors for voltage control and fault current minimization prepare fault analysis reports from post-mortem and SCADA date. Presentation of the report and discussion with technical evaluation team and implementation of corrective measures. Protection Implementation of protective schemes on the network, especially identifying and Devising cross trip and transfer trip scheme to enhance stability and security of the system. Revising the main or back up protective relay setting and their timing depending on fault analysis reports. Keep a record of the protective relays installed and their indications, response time and plug settings. There are seasonal generation flow changes in my country so have to revise, implement or alternately block certain protective scheme during different period.

 Generation Planning Long term and short term generation planning depending upon the energy models taking into account the generation and fuel availability and its cost, transmission line and bus bar load and its capacity so as to keep the utility cost to a minimum. For generation planning different software for scheduling, long and short term planning are employed incorporating the unit availability and AGC control, commitment and merit order, ramping as per heat rate and technical limit.

Power Dispatcher I am fully experienced in all kinds of switching operation on & 220KV transmission lines, transformers and isolating equipment. I can independently manage the network compressing more than 75 Grid Stations and Power Stations of 500 & 220 KV, managing a peak load of about 13,500 MW in 5005 and very long transmission network. I am skilled in all routine and emergency switching procedures for shutdown, testing or maintenance through manual/written communication or through SCADA by telecouplers synchro-check relays. I am conversant with generation dispatch according to system security and merit order of Hydel as well as thermal units of different capacities employing steam and gas turbines running on furnace oil, gas nuclear or coal. I have command over the voltage control and system stability issues, and am conversant with the heat rate and efficiency of machines, technical problems and how best to resolve them in my present position I am responsible 24 hours for any emergency be it on transmission or generation element and have the first hand knowledge of all such issues. Programming I am trained in C-Language in developing modules and defining classes and functions. Resolving issues with other Companies Our parent company (WAPDA) has been segregate into different Generation Companies (GENCOs), distribution Companies (DISCOs) and transmission and Control entities, in addition there are independent Power producers (IPPs) and many technical issues arise. System Operation Coordinated supervision of operation carried out on 132 & 66KV RCC North network of more than 400 Grid Station. Coordination Coordination with Regional Control Center North and south, management in daily plans, shutdowns and reports. Training of Engineers I give guide and provide training to new inductees on system operation procedures and dispatch related topics.

On Job Training Basic Dispatcher Level-I (3-weeks) conducted by GTZ of Germany at Wapda Engineering Academy, Faisalabad on network analysis and state estimation, load flow and voltage problems, protective relays, procedure for grant of shutdown or issue PTW, the basics of economic dispatch.
