Western Power CSI – Corporate Strategy Incentive program.
Project Description: ESM – Emergency Solar Management ( DPVM – Distributed Photovoltaic Management).
The adoption of DPV in the SWIS has occurred at a rapid rate, and in 2020, a record capacity of DPV generation was installed by SWIS customers.
At times of year, this generation is contributing to new record daytime low system demand, or load.
One solution is to implement DPV management capability, allowing DPV to be curtailed during specified events to, in effect, increase load to assist in maintaining system security.
I worked as an Application Architect and supported Design and Planning sprint in the DPVM Java Integration Agile program.
Worked a key technical member in the WP Head office location of Perth, WA.
As a integration technical lead performed the below activities – Designed the solar and grid consumption and distribution equilibrium of capacity using meter control solution through AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) and Modbus Router signalling (IOT Based).

Client: Western Power- Australia Onshore
Western Power CSI – Corporate Strategy Incentive program.
Project Description: DSO -Distributed Service Operators.
Management of distribution networks is becoming increasingly challenging with the connection of large numbers of inverter based DGs mainly PV based generation.
These new generators are in aggregate capacity the largest virtual power plant on the SWIS (as they operate largely in coordination).
At the local distribution level the challenges are related mainly to maintaining healthy voltage levels, particularly during high generation periods which coincide with relatively low load, creating the lowest net load period on the network in many distribution networks and in the system as a whole in the middle of the day.
The scope of Phase 2 of Flexibility Services includes the introduction of a platform, Autogrid Flex, which supports a more automated approach to the delivery of Flex Services by existing and new partners in the Pilot.
The overall objective for Phase 2 of Flexibility Services is for Western Power to run a trial of remote control and monitoring systems for IES with the capability to manage distributed PV and battery DGs connected to Western Power distribution network in order to address network and system constraints arising from high penetration of PV DGs connected to the network.
I worked as an Application Architect and supported Design and Planning sprint in the DSO Integration Agile program.
Worked a key technical member in the WP Head office location of Perth, WA.
As a integration technical lead performed the below activities – AutoGrid FLEX API Integration design using MQTT SparkPlug Protocol with SCADA Master Device Register hosted in AutoGrid AWS Cloud IIOT Platform.
This was developed in microservices architecture using Spring boot.
This is DSO Gateway interface which is an asynchronous MQTT Client communicating through SparkPlug protocol built over Eclipse Tahu framework.
The DSO Gateway is responsible receiving and sending event-based signals origination from devices configured in SCADA mater via AutoGrid FLEX.
Also designed and developed DSO Dispatcher JBOSS Interface which handles the event data as stored into DB by the DSO Gateway asynchronously by reading the state of the event and further transmitting them into AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) and ModBus Router through IOT based signalling or other partner networks REST API se,g- Amanda Energy.
The AMI / Amnda acted as interfaces to control the disconnect/connect of L1 Auxiliary switch for shredding loads through web service messaging.

Standalone Power Systems (SPS) have been installed as a trial for the alternative approach to provision of remote customers with their electrical needs, offsetting traditional poles and wire asset replacements.
These systems are expected to have a similar reliability to those customers connected by traditional means.
For management of operation and asset upkeep, SPS require integration into Western Power systems.
Current monitoring, management and data acquisition is performed via an OEM system.
Integrating these SPS into the existing Western Power systems will be more efficient and provide improved SPS reliability, availability and reduce the asset upkeep costs.

The Western Power Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform, Ellipse, is Western Power’s key corporate finance, human resource and asset management software platform.
The Ellipse ERP has been in place at the current version (6.3) for over 10 years.
To achieve strategic performance and systems goals desired by Western Power, an upgrade to the latest generally available version of Ellipse is required.
Western Power has performed Ellipse platform upgrade from version 6.3 to 9.0 (appropriate point release) from mid-2018.
An upgrade from Ellipse 6.3 to or above version 9.0 is not a simple point upgrade.
Rather, it is a fundamental platform change which will improve process automation, streamline process enablement and empower better systems integration and management.
All areas of the Western Power that use Ellipse will be impacted by the upgrade.
Western Power has mandated that the upgrade will be a technical upgrade as much as possible – i.e. the upgrade project will not be used to drive business improvement.
To prepare for the Ellipse Version Upgrade Project (EVUP), Western Power commissioned an Ellipse Upgrade Preparation Project (EUPP), commencing third quarter 2017 and running to end of August 2018.
Myself worked as technical lead and supported design and planning sprint in the EVUP Integration Agile program.
