Sharief S

I am a Senior Power Systems Engineer at Electricité de France (EDF), specializing in grid integration for large-scale renewable energy projects. My expertise includes transmission and distribution network planning, system reinforcement, and ensuring grid compliance for renewable energy systems. I’ve led high-impact projects, such as a 4GW bulk load grid integration study and a 100MW floating solar PV project in Mozambique, utilizing advanced tools like PSS/E, DigSILENT PowerFactory, PSCAD, ETAP, and MATLAB Simulink.

My work focuses on steady-state and dynamic stability analyses to optimize system performance and ensure compliance with grid codes. I also design 11/22/33kV networks for seamless integration of solar PV and battery storage systems, and I’ve led grid code compliance studies addressing challenges like voltage stability and fault ride-through (LVRT/HVRT) requirements.

A career highlight was contributing to the development of India’s first Fault-Ride-Through compliant wind turbine, setting a new industry benchmark. My expertise spans HVDC, FACTS, and power electronics, with a strong focus on transient stability analysis and dynamic performance assessments to enhance grid reliability and efficiency.

Innovative and results-driven Power System Engineer with 17+ years of experience in power system studies, transmission and distribution network planning, and renewable energy (wind, solar, battery storage) grid integration. Adept at conducting steady-state and transient stability studies using tools like PSS/E, DigSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP, and PSCAD. Proven expertise in grid compliance, electrical design, and project execution across international markets.

Recognized for optimizing power networks, ensuring grid stability, and driving sustainable energy solutions.

I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in General Management from the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Nagpur (2022), which has equipped me with strategic leadership and management skills. My technical foundation includes a Master of Engineering (M.E) in Energy Engineering from Anna University, Chennai (2011), where I specialized in power systems and renewable energy technologies. I also completed my Bachelor of Engineering (B.E) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Anna University, Chennai (2008), which provided me with a strong grounding in electrical systems and engineering principles.
