TV presenter Dr Shini Somara talks to award-winning electrical engineer Kerrine Bryan, co-founder of Butterfly Books, which publishes career-themed children's picture books. What engineering are you doing at the moment? I'm working for WSP USA based in New York City in their Energy Group, where I tend to cross over between power generation and delivery, and renewables. Currently, I'm working on one of the largest offshore wind projects in the US, and some large renewable solar projects where I'm responsible for power system studies, including short circuit analysis and load flow analysis. Alongside that, I work on a few electrical distribution projects in New York and the tri-state area. For example, after Hurricane Sandy, some hospitals needed to move electrical power equipment outside of the flood zone or update their emergency power system in line with the latest codes and standards. So I've been involved in some of these projects.
