Professional working

The author, during his period of professional working had the responsibility to operate and maintain the power generation, connected with units of 1000KW to 200MW units in India, of various manufacturers, particlarly GE and BHEL. The problems mainly were at a period when computerization and specialists in various fields were not available. Hence the reliability and the maintenance of Continuity of Power Generation were mainly in the hands of Operating and maintenance staff connected with the plant and their skill in handling the power generating units. For traning of operators, simulators were also not available.

During my working, in the last 50 years, 1946 onwards, worked as power station engineer in Madras Electricity Department for a short time and Gujarat Electricity Board for a major time and retiring there on, as Chief Engineer (Operation). There after worked as consulting Engineer in reputed organizations such as Tata Consulting Engineers and Tata Projects Ltd., and there on in Ficthtners consulting Engineers,in India.
