Professional Profile
From network construction to system studies.
Mini-grid engineer and technical site lead with 6+ years of experience delivering off-grid generation, distribution, smart metering, customer connection and site commissioning projects across Nigeria. Experience includes team supervision, site execution, safety compliance, stakeholder coordination, community engagement and as-built close-out, supported by QGIS-based distribution network design, load analysis, data collection and cleaning, and engineering tools including PVsyst, ETAP and HOMER Pro.
Field Perspective
Field work has included distribution construction, customer connections, site inspections, snag close-out and as-built documentation.
Engineering Standard
In design reviews, I look at practical constraints such as network routes, equipment interfaces, protection, installation quality and commissioning checks.
Core Engineering Focus
Solar mini-grid design and on-site delivery.
Case studies include PV and battery modelling, ETAP electrical studies, QGIS network planning and field installation.
02
Mini-Grid Engineering
Generation, distribution, LV/MV/HV networks, metering, customer connections and commissioning.
03
Power Systems
Electrical network modelling, load flow, short circuit, protection and infrastructure assessment.
04
Project Delivery
Engineering coordination, construction supervision, QA/QC, stakeholder management and commissioning.
How I Work
How I approach a mini-grid assignment.
The steps below reflect activities covered in my field delivery and modelling work.
01
Understand the System
Check site data, load profiles, network routes and the available generation or grid supply.
02
Develop the Engineering Solution
Use QGIS for distribution layouts, HOMER Pro for hybrid-system scenarios and ETAP for electrical network studies.
03
Coordinate Delivery
Coordinate pole erection, line works, metering, customer wiring, inspections and technical snag resolution.
04
Verify & Commission
Verify installations, document corrections, support commissioning and prepare as-built close-out records.
