Key Engineering Projects
5MW Industrial Microgrid & Solar Integration
2024 - PresentDesigned and modeled a hybrid microgrid featuring a 3.5MW solar PV field synchronized with 1.5MW diesel generators. Conducted complete transient stability analysis and load flow modeling in ETAP to prevent grid islanding issues.
Tier III Data Center Power Protection Study
2023Led a comprehensive short-circuit analysis and relay coordination study for a new Tier III data center facility. Configured dual-redundant UPS backup systems and engineered select trip grading for critical switchgears.
2.5MW Manufacturing Plant Co-Generation Sizing
2022Engineered the interconnection and load shedding scheme for a 2.5MW natural gas co-generation turbine plant. Developed PLC logic to automatically shedding non-essential loads during generator trip scenarios.
Calculator Verification Process
To maintain kW Calc's reputation as a professional-grade engineering resource, every calculator is designed, coded, and verified through a rigorous peer-reviewed process:
In-Depth Research & Sourcing
We begin by researching reference standards, regulations, and specifications (such as the NEC, IEEE, ASHRAE, and NEMA) to compile all necessary equations and parameters.
Formula Verification by Field Experts
All sourced mathematical formulas and coefficients are reviewed and verified by experienced field experts to ensure theoretical correctness and alignment with safety rules.
Handover to Programmers & Coding
The verified calculation logic and step-by-step sizing flows are handed over to professional programmers who translate this math into a fast, interactive digital tool.
Real-Life Scenario & Result Validation
Once built, the tool's resulting output values are verified again by experts using multiple real-life calculation examples and real-world project scenarios before being published.
