Enspec is pleased to announce that Sushumna Raja has been appointed to CIGRE Joint Working Group B4/C4.100, Guide for EMT Studies of VSC-HVDC Connected Islanded Wind Farms.
CIGRE is recognised globally for bringing together experts from across the electricity industry to develop technical guidance that supports the evolution of power systems engineering. Its working groups enable specialists from industry, academia and network operators to collaborate on the challenges facing modern electricity networks and contribute to internationally recognised engineering guidance.
Joint Working Group B4/C4.100 has been established to develop guidance for electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies of Voltage Source Converter High Voltage Direct Current (VSC-HVDC) connected islanded wind farms. As offshore wind continues to expand and converter-based technologies become increasingly important to the energy transition, the group’s work will help support a consistent approach to these complex technical studies.
Sushumna’s appointment reflects both her expertise and Enspec’s commitment to contributing beyond project delivery.
Kerim Ozer, Enspec’s Director of Consultancy said “Sushumna’s appointment is thoroughly deserved. She delivers EMT and Insulation Coordination studies for our clients at Enspec and has developed strong expertise in this increasingly important area of power systems engineering. This working group is an excellent opportunity for her to contribute that experience while collaborating with leading specialists from across the industry. We’re proud to see her representing Enspec as part of this international collaboration.”
Alongside supporting clients with specialist consultancy services, Enspec actively participates in the development of the engineering profession through involvement in respected technical organisations. Contributing to international working groups such as CIGRE allows our engineers to share practical experience, collaborate with experts from around the world and remain closely involved in the development of future engineering guidance.
Enspec CEO Mara Rastall shares “Behind every technical achievement is a huge amount of curiosity, commitment and hard work. Sushumna’s appointment to this CIGRE Working Group is a reflection of all three. We’re delighted to see her expertise recognised and look forward to following the impact of the group’s work in the years ahead.”
Everyone at Enspec congratulates Sushumna on this achievement and looks forward to following the work of CIGRE Joint Working Group B4/C4.100.
