RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE

Performance Research Engineer (Consultancy Services - Thermal Power Plants)

Energo Engineering Projects Ltd Aug 2014 Present
Lead Teams to collect and analyze required data to account for major Performance Shortfalls.
Developing Strategies to interpret high volumes of Plant DCS data
Simulation of Thermodynamic cyles in power plants to identify the root causes of plant inefficiency.
Root Cause Analysis/Cost BenefitAnalysis on each Recommendation to improve plant performance.
Plant Performance Studies in more than 25 thermal power plants.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS / RESEARCH

Numerical Simulation of Heat Transfer in Metal Foams (HTTP Lab, IIT Madras) Prof. S.P.Venkatesan ( 2015-16)
Numerical modeling in metal foams considering LTE and LTNE assumptions.
Conducted Grid Independent Study, Meshing and Numerical Simulations.
Conducted experiments under identical conditions to validate the numerical simulations performed in
FLUENT.
Extensive literature review in porous media for the past 50 years to author a research paper.
Research paper under review in Heat and Mass Transfer Springer Journal ( Co authors Renju
Kurian and Prof. S.P.Venkatesan)

Heat Rate Modelling in Thermal Power Plants Aug 2015- Aug 2016
Performed Simulations of Steam cycles in thermal power plants to understant the effect of important
turbine parameteres.
Heat Rate Modelling in terms of Turbine ISentropic Efficiency, ReHeater Spray, Condenser
Performance and Hp Heater Performance.
The modelling helps the plant to justify the heat rate deviation from design Conditions and implement
the correct measures to correct it.
