Remote Operations & Control Center Engineer at Galp monitoring renewable assets and a 24 MWh BESS.

Message

At Galp, I monitor and control a 2.7 GW wind and solar portfolio through multi-level SCADA, tracking operational incidents and coordinating corrective actions with field teams and maintenance providers. I also support operation of a 24 MWh BESS and develop Power BI dashboards to monitor asset performance and operational KPIs.

At Siemens, I developed VBA solutions to automate spare-parts workflows and created Power BI dashboards analyzing Supercharger component failures and warranty trends. For my MSc thesis, I developed a fuzzy-logic energy management model coordinating PV, BESS, and diesel generation, with a case study evaluating emissions reduction and economic performance.
