Key accomplishments:

  • Part of lead commissioning team at Stanwell Power Station, which was the first plant to use model-based control concepts (Teleperm AS220EA).

  • For Callide A Power Station, introduced a software/hardware (VisSim) simulator to assist with FAT (factory acceptance testing).
