About
Karl (Kosma-Karamjit) S. Bogha. New Zealand. Introduction: My work experience requires the application of electrical standards, safety standards, construction plan and detail drawing skills, tabulation and analysis in Excel, and use of software. Projects types: commercial (small to large buildings, high rise, and warehouses), industrial (process - factories/manufacturing), public municipalities projects (schools, hospitals, clinics, campus, small waste water treatment plants, etc.), data centers (medium to large), street lighting, traffic lighting, interstate high mast lighting, and various other projects. Technical skills and tasks include: computer aided design and draughting (2D & 3D), electrical design, estimating with electrical estimating software through tender process, lighting design with controls, fire alarm, security, ‘overhead - underground - building’ cabling, electrical distribution, switchboards and distribution boards, critical power and UPS, split bus configuration switchboard with multiple supply source, redundancy incorporated designs and installations, onsite diesel generators, substation, MV/LV, lightning protection, earthing (grounding), extra low voltage systems such as PLC-DCS and control cabling (4-20 mA), and various other skills and tasks including project engineering and management. University Degrees: Master of Engineering Studies: University of Canterbury. New Zealand. 2018 Courses in Electrical Engineering, Renewable, and Construction Management. Graduate Certificate: Power Systems Protection & Relaying University of Idaho. 2015. Courses in Power Systems and Protection-Relaying (HV/MV). B. Sc. In Engineering: Arkansas State University. Concentration in Electrical Engineering. B. Sc.: University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma. Courses in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Humanities. Risk Management and Project Engineering Studies:  Risk management using Monte Carlo simulations, risk registry, reliability solutions, and a report on ‘design build’ versus ‘design construct’ renewable energy construction projects in Europe and Asia. Successfully completed a critique on a proposed wind farm journal paper; with the focus on technical, maintenance, reliability, and financial areas. Life cycle studies relevant to asset management of energy and construction projects.  Completed a project management course at master’s level. My studies included readings from the textbook titled Total Construction Management, and Construction Project Management. An Integrated Approach. A recent study on LEAN in construction methods included. Power Systems Protection Studies:  Applying symmetrical components for HV/MV calculations. Applying Mathcad and PowerWorld for performing calculations and simulations.  Protection of electrical equipment as related to electric power systems with emphasis on digital algorithms. HV/MV studies and protection calculations for substation switchgear, generators, motors, substation and tower earthing. Wind Energy Resource Studies:  Applied Wind Ninja software in wind resource modeling, successfully completed summaries on wind models and related journal papers (shown below), and a wind resource project. i.
