Remember Samu

With over ten years of experience as a Power Systems Engineer in both the electrical engineering field and academia, I specialize in power systems (distribution and transmission) and renewable energy. I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Murdoch University and a Cert IV in Training and Assessment from South Metropolitan TAFE. Additionally, I am a member of IEEE/IES and have numerous publications and certifications in sustainable environment and energy systems. My core competencies include power systems analysis, design, and optimization; control of remote hybrid microgrids with high PV penetration; PV output forecasting using all-sky imager-based techniques; and virtual power plant control to minimize PV curtailment. I have applied these skills in various projects with utility companies, engineering consulting firms, and academia. Notably, I contributed to the $1.8 Million ARENA-funded Carnarvon Distributed Energy Resources Trials, collaborating with Horizon Power (Australia), DLR (Germany Aerospace Centre , Solar Research) and Murdoch University. I was one of the early researchers in groundbreaking renewable energy technologies under REDAR (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) and renewable energy techno-economic feasibility studies in Zimbabwe. I aim to develop and implement innovative and reliable solutions for the energy sector, focusing on decarbonization, transmission power system reinforcement, renewable energy integration, grid stability, and energy efficiency. Next Century problems require Next Century solutions. As the Founder and CEO of TerraForge Group of Companies (TFG) and Co-Founder and CTO of Next Century Power (NCP), I aim to provide cost-effective and sustainable electrification solutions for Africa and beyond.
