Mostafa has been involved for the last 12 years in infrastructural electrical power system
engineering and design. His experience includes preparing specifications, conceptual and
detailed design for AIS & GIS substations up to 500 kV, power system analysis, earthing
design, insulation coordination, material evaluation, safety assessment and procurement
assistance.
He has hands on electrical design and operation for water and wastewater treatment
facilities. He is also responsible for job management, work planning, graduate’s
assessment and supervising, interdisciplinary coordination and budget control.
Relevant experience
Power Transmission & Distribution
Moenge 132/30 kV Power Supply Substation and Lunga-Vasa Line Tee Off Point – Congo, 2016-2017
Design manager, primary reviewer and designer. The owner requested to design the AIS substation
at 220 kV in future with a double bus single breaker configuration but it would operate initially as a
single bus at 132 kV. Consideration for voltage up-rating and configuration modification
necessitates the careful planning for station area with provision for extendibility. The project had
little done with conceptual design. Detailed engineering assessment was carried out to optimise
economics with structure placement, insulators, conductor and tubular bus-bar selection, power
transformer foundation and control building design.
Primary design reviewer investigating various possibilities for new 250 MVA ttransformer placement
against constructional, operational, economical and future extendibility aspects. The replacement
aimed to improve the power generation share between existing transformers, by mitigating the
impedance mismatch.
Sale Zone Substation Transformer Replacement – SPA AusNet – Australia, 2011 – 2012
Secondary designer assisting with the new 22 kV indoor switchgear. The work involved interfacing
the new indoor 22 kV switchgear with the existing substation protection and control schemes.
Lead primary designer responsible for equipment layout design. The work involved investigating
various possibilities of equipment placement, against the safety zone aspects in order to achieve
minimum outages and enhance the supply continuity. The investigation of existing 66 kV cables
crossing under the proposed additional coupler foundations was part of my duties as well.
Masterton 110/11 kV Substation Upgrade - Transpower NZ Ltd. 2011 – 2012
Lead primary designer responsible for 2 x three single phase transformers replacement including
33 kV switchgear outdoor to indoor conversion, with additional feeders to Powerco network. The
project involved coordination with other structural and civil disciplines, production of SLD, phase
diagram, 11 kV cable sizing calculations, detailed design plan and elevation drawings and system
project overview (listing the required sequencing of new installations, outages and safety
precautions).
380 kV Rabigh-2 PP Related Switching Station- SEC, Saudi Arabia, 2009 – 2010
Primary designer assisting with the 380 kV GIS building in addition to MV Cable sizing, this included
380 kV GIL interface, Auxiliary system design (LV AC) DC System design (Station battery sizing,
chargers and DC distribution), Lighting design using DIALUX™, wiring and panel schedules.
Larona and Balambano 150 kV Transmission Line EPR/LFI Investigation on pipeline – PT Vale,
Indonesia, 2012
Investigating the safety hazards to public associated with re-routing of 150 kV line on existing
nearby underground oil pipeline. The study focused on two parts, first to calculate the fault current
split into towers footing next to the pipeline and associated Earth Potential Rise (EPR) using
CDEGS™ and ARGON (risk assessment program), second to calculate the pipeline induced emf.
Hazards identified and proposed mitigations were discussed in the report.
Underground Cabling
Jeddah 110 kV Underground Cables Interconnection – SEC, Saudi Arabia, 2009 – 2010
Electrical designer for 8 route plans, cross-bonding schematics, GIS interface in 4 Remote Ends in
addition to source substation (Kandarah 380/110/13.8 kV BSP).Scope included verifying cable
screen size to accommodate short circuit current, standing voltage calculations and cross-bonding
schematics.
Reclamation of 30,000 Acres – Toshka Area – Dahra Agricultural Company, Egypt, 2015
Electrical Engineer responsible for evaluating electromechanical offers. My responsibilities include
studying technical offers for VFDs, motors, cables, transformers, switchgears and control systems.
Power Generation
Attaqa 4 x 165 MW Gas Fired (Simple Cycle) PP (Fast Track)- Egypt, 2014-2015
Design reviewer for electrical BOP including GSU sizing, GCB selection, UAT sizing, cabling and
routing, specification preparation and system short circuit & load flow study.
Al-Zayt Wind Farm 100 x 2.5 MW ( 76 x 3.3 MW) (BOO)- Egypt, 2015 -2016
Cable reticulation study/optimization based on two alternative designs, one with 100 x 2.5 MW
WTGs and the other with 76 x 3.3 MW WTGs.
Professional Development
"Professional Engineering Job Management”, Beca Ltd. 2012-2013
The 12-weeks course focused on engineering job management. Resources, deliverables
scheduling, work package management, client negotiations, umbrella terms and conditions and
legal workflow had been covered.
“The Simulation and Analysis of Power System Transients using EMTP-RV”, CEATI, 2008
Power system transients analysis and simulation using ETMP-RV™ software, the course included
theoretical and practical parts.
