Designing and commisioning of different electrical drive-trains. Designing of electrical generators and actuators, specifying and commisioning of converter systems. Part of the team that realized the Tocardo Tidal power project in the Oosterschelde. Designing & testing power train for a 2 MW class direct drive windturbine. Electrical Design of direct drive generator for the tocardo tidal turbine. Design of Power conversion systems for wind (windenergysolutions) and tidal energy converter (tocardo). Being part of the teamwork that build the prototype of the Archimedis waveswing wave energy converter. Being there in the shipyard to guide the electrical installation build up and testing. Assisting the company that was commisioning the medium voltage converter. Making a control and monitoring system for the submerge of the wave energy device. Implementing the control system of the wave energy device into the system and being part of the test team thas was doing the test on the device. Great time !
