Lay Patel

Partnered with engineering and operations teams to assess electrical distribution performance across large commercial and institutional facilities, identifying power-quality risks that impact equipment reliability, operational stability, and long-term asset life. Analyzed voltage stability, sags, swells, harmonics, and power factor under IEEE 1159 standards to identify electrical stress impacting equipment reliability and asset life-cycle degradation, while quantifying energy savings. Developed proposals using utility billing and Insight meter data to evaluate incoming voltage relative to equipment nameplate ratings, event severity and frequency, and identify appropriate voltage levels for client facilities for better savings and equipment performance.
