Notable being on design of 80 MW air-cooled generator in ‘BHEL JOURNAL’ ‘95. Presented a guest paper on ‘TG Systems’ at National Systems Conference 1999 in IT- BHU on invitation and at IIT Roorkee on ‘Generators’ at a seminar in 2005. Also chaired a session at IIT Roorkee seminar ‘Computer applications in Electrical Machines’ in 2005 Hobbies: Palmistry, Swimming, Roses, Traveling, Photography and listening to Euro classical. Present: Organizing interactive workshops on Generators all over India and giving technical consultations. Workshops held for NTPC: Unchahar, Talcher(Twice), Farakka, Simhadri, Badarpur, Ramagundam(Thrice); Rihand (Twice), Singrauli (twice), Vindhyanagar (thrice), Tanda, Auraiya, Dadri and Kayamkulam, NTPC-SAIL: Rourkela, Bhillai & Durgapur, AECO-Ahmedabad, TATA at Trombay (thrice); NPC: RAPS Kota (thrice), KAPS Kakrapar (twice), TAPS Tarapur (thrice), NAPS Narora (twice), KAIGA (Twice), MAPS Kalpakkam, NLC Neyvali, NCTPS-TNEB Chennai, Reliance Energy (thrice), MSEB Koradi (twice) Nasik and Bhusawal, UPSEB Obra, GEB-Wanakbori (twice), APGenCorp–Vijaywada (twice), NALCO-Orissa; IB-Valley-OPGCL, PSEB, ABB Ltd., Renusagar Power (twice) NTPC-PMI & IOC Panipat & BPCL. Present Assignments: BHEL Hardwar in Aug–Sept 2000 related to design audit and failure analyses. Consultancy visits to Reliance-Dahanu (twice), Bhusawal TPS (Thrice), MSEB-Chandrapur (thrice), GMR Energy, Jindal Power, TATA Power-Trombay (thrice), GEB-Wanakbori, NPCIL-RAPS Kota etc. Reports made for NPCIL – KAPS, for BSES-Dahanu, Alstom. One such visit helped to save MSEB Bhusawal millions of Rupees by advice rendered related to stator repair of a THW-210 MW TG during early 2003 and another visit to TATA Power saved their imported rotor preventing loss of almost 7 months generation of 200 MW power. A technical project related to 500 MW generator problems was executed for Loy Yang Power Co. Australia in February 2002. MahaGenCo (MSEB HQ) Chandrapur gave silver shield + shawl as award for outstanding contribution towards repair of their U-7 500 MW generator in Jan. 2007. Also Managing Partner of ‘Eron Services’ – an Ex BHEL Enterprise in power equipment services.
