| Between 2016 &2023 I was a system engineer at a coal fired power station, I was responsible for performance improvement of the electrical plant for the whole power station. I improved the performance by initiating engineering changes to the plant which included introducing new technologies as solutions to prevalent problems. I am currently working at a research institution where most of the research is driven by innovation and introduction of new technology into the business. In 2024 I conducted a study where I was researching on the suitable HVDC technologies for Eskom to support the transmission development plan (TDP) and the IRP. |
