• Prepared designs for large hydro generators, including implementation of resulting contracts.
• Commissioned new hydro plants throughout the world, involving generators as well as generator/motors.
• Conducted guarantee and acceptance tests, including water-cooled systems.
• Conducted, planned and prepared written reports on plant upgrade/uprate potential from hydro generator coupling to high-voltage transmission line.
• Five years in design and development of power transformers.
• Supervised electrical, mechanical design and manufacture of large power transformers, as well as rectifier transformers.
• Seven years in charge of license and joint venture activities for rotating machines in China, Indonesia and USA.
• Involved in planning and implementation of a diesel-generator manufacturing plant and also a facility for the manufacture of hydro generator stator windings (VPI technique).
