BESS & Utility Delivery • Compliance-Led

Program/Project Manager • Business Analyst • Product Owner

I help regulated utilities and energy developers deliver Battery Energy Storage Systems and grid-modernization programs the right way—aligning architecture and operations with FERC, NERC CIP, NIST 800-53, DOD/DOT, CEII, and Standards of Conduct (SOC).

What I Do

Full‑stack delivery across strategy, requirements, architecture, implementation, and audit.

Program & Project Management

Stage‑gates, Agile/SAFe, risk & dependency orchestration, vendor governance, cost & schedule control.

Business Analysis & BRDs

Requirements, process maps, user stories, data contracts, acceptance criteria, and traceability matrices.

Product Ownership

Roadmaps, prioritization, backlog health, UX acceptance, release planning, value realization.

Compliance & Governance

Control mapping to FERC/NERC CIP & NIST 800‑53; CEII & SOC handling; audit evidence & change control.

SCADA/EMS/DERMS

Telemetry models, EMS/DERMS interfacing, ICCP gateway design, RTU/RTAC data mapping, historian strategy.

Data, Cyber, and Quality

Data lineage, validation & alarms, SOC‑segregated flows, CIP asset inventory, CMDB baselines, DR runbooks.

Stakeholder Enablement

RACI/RASCI, operator narratives, tabletop drills, training assets, and audit interview coaching.

Compliance‑First Architecture

Design decisions flow from the regulatory frame to ensure secure, auditable, and financeable systems.

Frameworks

  • FERC: Markets, SOC, Order 841/881/2222
  • NERC CIP: CIP‑002 → CIP‑014
  • NIST: 800‑53 Rev. 5, 800‑82 ICS
  • Gov: DOD, DOT coordination
  • Privacy & CEII handling

Controls & Evidence

  • Asset inventory, PSPs, network segmentation
  • Access mgmt, multi‑party approvals, SoD
  • Configuration baselines & change logs
  • Alarm rationalization & operator logs
  • Disaster recovery tests & after‑action

Governance Mechanisms

  • RACI/RASCI + decision rights
  • Stage gates tied to controls
  • Vendor due diligence & SLAs
  • Evidence vault & traceability
  • Audit playbooks & tabletop drills

Every work item ties to a control; every change creates evidence. That’s how programs pass audits and stay fundable.

BESS Expertise

From device to market: engineering handshakes, telemetry integrity, and operator‑first design.

Signal & Telemetry

  • ICCP, DNP3, Modbus mapping
  • RTU/RTAC → EMS/DERMS → Historian
  • Quality flags, deadbands, scaling

Operational Metrics

  • SoC, SoH, ACE (Area/Available Control Energy)*
  • DE (Discharge Energy), Imbalance, AGC tie‑ins
  • Alarm design & suppression logic
*ACE terminology varies by context; I reconcile EMS “Area Control Error” vs. asset “Available Charge Energy.”

Market & Compliance

  • Order 841/2222 participation
  • AAR/ratings workflows (881‑aligned)
  • SOC segregation & non‑public data handling

Dashboards emphasize operator cognition: clear signals, actionable alarms, and audit‑proof logs.

Selected Work & Results

Representative engagements (details anonymized for CEII/SOC).

Utility BESS Pilot Portfolio

Coordinated EMS/DERMS/SCADA integration across multi‑vendor assets; instituted SOC‑segregated data flows; achieved audit‑ready evidence packs.

ICCP
DERMS
NERC CIP

AAR & Seasonal Ratings Workflow

Built BRD and governance for dynamic ratings (Order 881); added 10‑day forecast logic and foreign‑limiting coordination; automated reporting.

FERC 881
Change Mgmt

Disaster Recovery & Evidence Vault

Defined DR runbooks, backup windows, and evidence traceability linking tickets → configs → test results → audit exhibits.
