Power Planners International is a limited company registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council under Registration No. Consult/1147. It is a renowned company in the Power Sector of Pakistan, South Asia, and the Middle East in power system analysis and planning especially in the areas of grid interconnection studies of renewables such as wind, solar, small hydels, etc.

PPI is also registered in Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) having a bidder ID of 0005010127, and Alternative Energy Development Board under registration No. 0038-2007. Moreover, PPI has a limited sister company also registered in England and Wales (Regd. No.6363482).

CEO has more than 38 years of experience working, supervising, and leading 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 a 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 circuits; 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 the Middle East and Europe where he presented papers on advanced fields of power system planning and operation. The team comprises engineers having background experience of 10 to 30 years working in utilities and consultant companies in Pakistan, South Asia, and the Middle East in the fields of transmission planning, power system analysis, load forecasting, and generation planning for systems of a wide range of operating voltages.

SPECIALIZED TECHNICAL SKILLS

1- Feasibility Studies of integration of power plants with the main grid.

2-Load flow, optimal power flow, and short circuit analysis.

3-Dynamic and transient stability analysis for all kinds of disturbances in the system.

4- Voltage stability, voltage control, and voltage collapse analysis and remedies by compensating devices like shunt capacitors/reactors banks, SVCs, FACTS, Series Compensators, STATCOMs, etc.

5- Small signal stability analysis and remedies by power system stabilizers (PSS) in the system.

6-All sorts of transient analyses including but not limited to, transient overvoltage (TOV), transient recovery voltage (TRV), load rejection, in-rush currents frequency-scans etc.

7- 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.

8- Engineering, design, and specifications of substations, overhead lines, cables, and FACTS devices (such as SVC).

9- 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.

10- 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.

11- 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.
