About

I work on electrical calculations for power installations — from steady-state conditions to dynamic stability: short-circuit currents to GOST, IEC and IEEE, motor starting and re-acceleration, arc flash. Experience with nuclear plant auxiliary systems and with pulp-and-paper and refinery networks.

Certified ETAP tutor; trained over 50 specialists. Co-author of a corporate standard on arc-flash incident energy calculation. At the Department of Electric Power Stations, MPEI, I teach my own course on auxiliary systems of power plants and substations. Fluent English, including technical.
