Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I design EMS algorithms and simulation tools for multi-MWh BESS systems — from cell level to full AC system. For 12 years, I've worked at the intersection of system engineering, physical modeling, and software development. At SAFT (TotalEnergies), I led the simulation team that produces the reference tools used to size, validate, and sell our storage solutions in European, Asian, and American markets. Specifically: C++/Matlab platform modeling BESS from cell to AC system level, integrated EMS logic, battery aging models, thermal constraints, financial optimization.

What I bring to freelance missions:

EMS algorithm development (dispatch, PV-shifting, trading, FCR/aFRR)
BESS performance simulation and sizing/upscaling studies
Techno-economic modeling and long-term ROI
Python simulation and optimization tools, turnkey deliverables

I work fast, deliver production-ready tools, and can interface with R&D teams as well as sales teams.

Available for consulting, development, or technical expertise missions — remote or on-site.
