Consulting & Training Services – Sector: Heavy-Duty Mobility – Role: Engineering Consultant

HD HRS System Study – Developing Heavy Duty Hydrogen Refueling Stations across global hydrogen refueling markets. 

• Purpose: to enable the cost-effective construction and operation of a Heavy-Duty Hydrogen Refueling Station within 5 years by accelerating concept maturation.

• Context: In pursuit of hydrogen supply chain commercialization, a global hydrogen product team faced challenges in its development of a hydrogen refueling station for heavy duty road transportation.

• Solutions: Staff engagement including training and workshop facilitation. Tailored application of engineering processes including: Requirements Engineering, Architecture/Design Development, and Concurrent Design Methods. A temporary concurrent design environment including: Requirements Management and Model Based Systems Engineering tools.

• Results: The team demonstrated a massive increase in engineering throughput, delivering a 24-month roadmap in under 3 months.

Consulting & Training Services – Sector: Integrated Energy – Role: Engineering Consultant

Systems Engineering Adoption – Improving Engineering Integration on large capital projects across global oil and gas energy sector.

• Purpose: to improve risk management, and engineering efficiency across the system lifecycle by implementing Model Based Systems Engineering.

• Context: Faced with increasing commercial pressure, a global energy company sought improved project delivery. Success hinges on end-to-end traceability from high-level business goals to technical specs, and ultimately to in service performance. Without this connection the project becomes a liability rather than a vehicle for value.

• Solutions: Staff training and engagement to drive adoption. Tailored application of engineering processes including: Business or Mission Analysis, Requirements Engineering, Architecture/Design Development, and the Trinity Method. Improvements to existing project management and integrated engineering processes. An integrated digital engineering environment including the requirements management system and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and infrastructure.

• Results: The organization gained the capability to transform engineering from a cost centre to a value driver by reducing technical risk, slashing rework through design reuse, and ensuring compliance via automated, end-to-end traceability.

Consulting Services – Sector: Mining – Role: Systems Engineering Manager

Electrification of Mining – Decarbonizing mining haul trucks with minimal operations impact via industry consortium.

• Purpose: to decarbonize mining haul trucks with minimal operations impact by developing an ultrafast and modular end-to-end charging solution

• Context: The global mining industry sought to significantly decarbonize mining operations by issuing a technology innovation challenge to accelerate commercialization of electric haul truck charging solutions.

• Solutions: A concept development team rapidly scaled to guide a joint venture consortium of industry partners. Tailored application of engineering processes including: Requirements Engineering, Architecture/Design Development, System Integration, Technical Planning, and Organizational Project Enabling Activities. Tailored application of project management frameworks. An open architecture and system requirements set for heavy duty electric vehicles.

• Results: Our efforts accelerated the decarbonization of haul trucks, stimulated IP generation among JV partners, and resulted in the drafting of the Megawatt Charging Standard.

System Delivery – Sector: Electric Utility Transmission & Distribution – Roles: Engineer, Manager

Energy Strong Advanced Technologies – Improving reliability and resilience of the electric distribution grid.

• Purpose: to improve electric grid resiliency and reliability by implementing advanced utility technologies.

• Context: Faced with several unprecedented weather events the utility sought to improve their ability to withstand and recover from severe storms. Successful implementation of advanced technology was an important part of this.

• Solutions: Staff training and engagement to drive adoption. Tailored application of engineering processes including: Requirements Engineering, Architecture/Design Development, System Integration, and Verification and Validation. Evolution of organizational processes for System Operation, Planning, and Support. An Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS).

• Results: The program marked a transition toward improved grid intelligence. By upgrading our distribution systems, we built the foundation necessary to handle the bidirectional power flows and intermittency inherent in a modern, renewable-heavy energy grid.

System Delivery – Sector: Electric Utility Transmission & Distribution – Role: Engineer

Transformer Monitoring Program – The digital transformation of utility asset management and maintenance.

• Purpose: to improve reliability of Electric Transmission and Distribution Assets by enabling Condition Based Maintenance.

• Context: An electric utility sought to maintain the reliability of aging electric grid statewide without disrupting capital allocation. The core assets of the electric transmission and distribution system (power transformers) are: more likely to fail as they age, and are both costly and difficult to replace. This drove the need for a new approach.

• Solutions: Staff training and engagement to drive adoption. Tailored application of engineering processes including: Architecture/Design Development, and System Integration. A custom Supervisory Data Acquisition & Management System (SDAMS), and enhanced Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).

• Results: Improved asset intelligence and visibility enabling intervention before failure, which protected SAIDI/SAIFI scores and optimized capital deployment.
