• As a Project Engineer at SEL, I have participated in more than 10 local and international projects, leading the commissioning, testing, and configuration of protection systems for electrical substations. In countries like Spain, Belgium, England, Wales, Germany, and France.
• My experience covers busbar, transformer, transmission line, motor, feeder, and medium-voltage switchgear protection, applying protocols as IEC 61850, etc.
• Key Projects
• 🔹Offshore Platforms – Wind Farm (France)
• Commissioning of two offshore platforms for wind power evacuation.
• Generation at 66 kV and stepped up to 225 kV using two 300 MVA transformers, transmitting power to shore via two TL.
• I was involved for five months, performing on-shore and off-shore testing.
• 🔹Industrial Protection System – Belgium
• Commissioning of an industrial protection system with a 12 kV double-busbar configuration and 30 bays, including protection for motors, auxiliary transformers, feeders, and incomers.
• A key achievement was the breaker failure protection systems, using each bay’s relay and IEC 61850 integration.
• As this was a critical infrastructure, the solution significantly improved fault isolation times without compromising selectivity, minimizing arc flash risk and ensuring a robust operation.
• Although the original protection concept was not designed by me, I was responsible for implementing it.
• 🔹 Industrial Substation – Construction Sector (Spain)
• Development and implementation of the protection and control system for an industrial substation with a main transformer, transmission line, and MV switchgear.
• Included integration of a Centralized Protection and Control (CPC).

• 🔹 Compressor Protection System – Oil & Gas (Wales)
• Commissioning of a 3.2 MW compressor protection system, using an SEL-710 relay as the main protection device and integrated HMI for local monitoring and control.
