CEO has more than 38 years of experience of working, supervising and leading the teams of engineers in WAPDA, Pakistan; and Saudi Electricity Company (SEC or SCECO) in Saudi Arabia in the fields of power system analysis, transmission planning, load-forecasting and generation planning. CEO has worked all along his professional life for systems of whole range of principal operating voltages viz. 765 kV, 500 kV, 380 kV, 220 kV, 132 kV, 110 kV, 66kV and 33kV. His major areas of interest have been load flow; short circuit; dynamic and transient stability; voltage stability, voltage control and voltage collapse; small signal stability; modeling and analysis of static & dynamic loads, generators, exciters, governors, stabilizers, SVCs, FACTS, Series Compensators, STATCOMs, HVDC lines and converter stations. CEO has exposure to international technical forums of IEEE and CIGRE, having participated many times in their conferences in Middle East and Europe where he presented papers on advanced fields of power system planning and operation. The team comprises of engineers having background experience of 10 to 30 years working in utilities and consultant companies in Pakistan and Middle East in the fields of transmission planning, power system analysis, load forecasting and generation planning for systems of wide range of operating voltages

Power Planners International is a limited company registered with Pakistan Engineering Council under Registration No. Consult/1147. PPI is also registered in England and Wales (Regd. No.6363482); with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) having a bidder ID of 0005010127, and Alternative Energy Development Board under registration No. 0038-2007.

Specialized Technical Skills

[dt_vc_list]PPI possess the technical skills to perform for a grid system of any size, the following:

Feasibility Studies of integration of power plants with the main grid.
Load flow, optimal power flow, and short circuit analysis.
Dynamic and transient stability analysis for all kinds of disturbances in the system.
Voltage stability, voltage control, and voltage collapse analysis and remedies by compensating devices like shunt capacitors/reactors banks, SVCs, FACTS, Series Compensators, STATCOMs, etc.
Small signal stability analysis and remedies by power system stabilizers (PSS) in the system.
All sorts of transient analyses including but not limited to, transient overvoltage (TOV), transient recovery voltage (TRV), load rejection, in-rush currents and frequency-scans etc.
Power quality issues like flicker, harmonics/resonance and voltage-unbalance due to bad loads like arc furnaces in steel mills or non-uniform generations like wind turbines.
Engineering, design and specifications of substations, overhead lines, cables and FACTS devices (such as SVC).
Load forecast analysis based on historical data, power market surveys, economic growth indices like GDP or GNP, population growth rates etc. using econometric models, time-series models, end-users models etc.
Optimized Generation Planning based on reliability indices of LOLE/LOLP, minimum reserve margins, cost of un-served energy etc. for one integrated system, and for various systems having inter-ties for reserve sharing or fixed bulk transfer of power using multi-area reliability indices.
Analysis of transfer limits between different grid systems fulfilling the generation and transmission reliability criteria Economic and financial analysis of power projects required for approval by funding agencies or governmental authorities.

CEO’s Message

We are celebrating the 15^th anniversary of Power Planners International. (PPI) after it was launched in 2005. Strides upon strides, PPI has grown into a lead consultancy company to provide services in the realm of power system analysis, power planning, grid integration of renewables, evaluation of transmission & distribution losses, developing regulatory framework, cross-border power exchange, capacity building of power sector institutions and overall improvement of the power industry in Pakistan and abroad.

PPI has been playing the role of a bridge between independent power producers (IPPs) and the electrical utility companies (Transmission & Distribution Companies) by providing consultancy services for the interconnection of conventional and renewable power plants with the national grid of the country. PPI has provided invaluable assistance to NTDC and NEPRA in the development of Grid Codes for the integration of renewables, especially wind and solar into the National Grid. We have built the confidence of both, the IPPs and the utilities, by maintaining high-quality international standards and internationally recognized performance criteria. During the past few years, PPI has expanded its footprints in South Asia and the Middle East in terms of consultancy, organization of conferences, workshops, and training of engineers.

Power Planners International is a fast-growing engineering consultancy company driven by a strong dedication to customer satisfaction and to provide positive technical contributions to the nation’s most difficult technological problems. To meet the increasingly diverse needs of our clients, our diverse workforce are making full use of their potential to continue to create and add new values.
