Fast changing technology in the renewable sector along with surge in development and penetration of these technology in the power system pose a challenge to power system engineers. These challenges require a good understanding of the fundamentals of power system and an attitude to think out of the box to come up with innovative solutions to non-traditional problems. Power System’s team is a part of a wider Engineering, Assets and Project Delivery team (EAPD) in KPMG and support all projects requiring power system studies.
