Meet Rakshita Dhar, Senior Power System Simulation Engineer, ABL London
The team at ABL Group shares the passion, vision and values for working in energy and the world’s oceans, de-risking and driving the energy transition. We are driven by the idea that the best work is born from professionalism, diligence… and fun. You know ABL Group, but do you know our team?
What does your day-to-day look like at ABL?
“My day-to-day work at ABL involves working on interesting projects. I like to work on emerging technologies which is exactly what I get to do.
My routine involves reading research papers, running simulations, and writing up my findings. Also, I enjoy interacting with various teams, exchanging ideas and brainstorming solutions for my teams projects. “
What inspired you to join your industry?
My passion for how research translates into real-world impact inspired me to join the industry after completing my PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Also, at University of Glasgow, I served as a ‘Career Officer’ in the PhD society so I was able to relate the research being carried out at University and the work carried out in the industry.
Can you tell us about something exciting you are working on right now?
One of the exciting projects that I am working right now is the offshore charging of batteries in e-SOV(electric service operational vessel). This work of mine contributes to the energy transition statement laid out by the ABL Group to drive renewable energy, carbon-reduction, and sustainable technologies across energy and oceans. I align with the ABL group’s core values, one of which is to seek the truth at the request of the clients. In my project, I am constantly required to seek the truth and I like this part.
What does the future look like in energy and oceans in Europe?
The future is bright, Europe will be a world leader in the offshore wind industry! And it’s exciting to be a part of this industry and contribute towards it. Apart from this, Europe aims to be fossil fuel-free by 2050 and hence there is substantial growth in wind, solar and green hydrogen projects.
What do you enjoy most about working as part of the ABL Group team in Europe?
” I enjoy meeting people from different parts of the world, introducing myself and interacting with them!”
