@felipeordoez1
Electrical studies specialist at Siemens Digital Industries who built power system models with APA software.
What I'm looking for
At Siemens Digital Industries (Germany), I built power system models with APA software and analyzed electrical protection schemes and system operation to support reliability and efficiency in global studies.
At Y&V, I performed protection coordination, arc flash, and reliability analysis for 34.5 kV networks, and implemented relay settings. I also supported functional testing of protection relays and reclosers.
At GERS, I carried out protection coordination, load flow, and harmonic studies for substations, solar projects, and industrial systems, modeling power systems in NEPLAN, ETAP, and DIgSILENT.
At CENSCO, I designed electrical automation and control systems for industrial projects, developed and modified drawings in AutoCAD, and commissioned machinery in U.S. plants. At APM Terminals, I prepared projects and bids for port equipment works and managed performance indicators and planning.
