Conducted techno-economic design for a 150 W hybrid electric marine propulsion system targeting 6-month continuous operation; performed energy throughput analysis (648 kWh raw / 900 kWh effective at η=0.90, DoD=0.80) and sized a 10 kWh LiFePO4 battery pack against a 350 kg payload constraint. Evaluated solar PV integration using 2×600 Wp panels (23.23% efficiency, Vmp=44.78 V) with MPPT control; confirmed energy-positive operation with 6 kWh/day generated vs. 4.33 kWh/day consumed. Simulated PV-to-battery charging in MATLAB/Simulink using a Perturb & Observe MPPT algorithm; validated 940 W PV output, steady-state battery current 13 A, and SOC stabilization at 67 V under STC (1000 W/m², 25°C). Drafted defense-grade electronic circuit schematics in OrCAD Capture; produced design documentation compliant with BEL R&D standards.

Studied operational characteristics of 11 kV Ring Main Units (RMUs) with SF6 insulation, Load Break Switches, and Vacuum Circuit Breakers; observed SCADA-based Local/Remote switching and observed metering for real-time V, I, and energy monitoring. Traced the single-line diagram of a 220/66/11 kV KPTCL substation; identified Gas Circuit Breakers, 3000/1 A multi-core CTs (accuracy class 0.2 & 5P10), PTs, and double-bus topology; conducted distribution transformer field inspection (oil level, BDV, earthing, breather, HT/LT lugs, GOS contacts). Studied rooftop solar net metering interconnection; traced signal path from PV array through MPPT grid-tied inverter, uni-directional solar meter, and bi-directional net meter to the utility distribution network.
