About Sanjaya Bhattarai

I am an Electrical Engineering graduate student specializing in Electrical Power. My undergraduate program in Nepal covered diverse courses like Power System Analysis, Electrical Machines and Drives, Power Plant Design, and more, honing my expertise in the field. My final year project on \"grid-connected Photovoltaic design and economic analysis\" fueled my interest in renewable energy.Proficient in renewable energy engineering software like HOMER, PVsyst, MATLAB, Sketchup, and AutoCAD, I possess a comprehensive skill set. Academic courses in Transmission Line Design, Power Plant Design, Transformer Design, and 3-phase house wiring have equipped me with a thorough understanding of Electrical Power principles.As a site engineer at Rakesh Kumar Group Construction Company, I supervised rural electrification activities. At Environment and Resource Management Consultant Pvt. Ltd, I worked on an asset verification and valuation project for Nepal Electricity Authority, gaining insights into power systems.Currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Toledo, I recently completed a Summer 2023 internship at Aypa Power. There, I contributed to Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and substation design projects, enriching my practical knowledge in the Electrical Power sector.I am deeply committed to advancing renewable energy solutions and look forward to applying my skills to address complex challenges in the field.
