345kV Substation Protection Study for 120MW Hyperscale Campus

Led end-to-end protection coordination study for a new utility-owned 345kV substation serving a major hyperscale operator's flagship campus. Developed relay settings from transmission level through 34.5kV feeders to MV switchgear and generator protection. Coordinated with the serving utility's protection engineers to validate settings against NERC compliance requirements.

Live-Site Expansion at 48MW Colocation Retrofit

Owner-side technical lead for a major capacity expansion — adding 48MW of critical load without disrupting 200MW of live infrastructure. Identified and resolved a protection gap in the tie-bus configuration that would have caused a site-wide outage during load transfer.
