About Devayan Basu

Currently, working as the product manager and application engineer involved in the development and multi-physics simulation of high voltage network components (HV NWC) for Click-Fit division of Prysmian BV in Delft. Development of click fit (prysmian patented technology) connectors, terminations, joints, link boxes and other products from 72 to 550 kV for 95 to mm2 HVAC onshore and offshore cables. Extensive previous research experience on the novel gas mixtures for SF6 replacement in HV GIS. Modeling and experimentation on the partial discharge inception and extinction on the breakdown strength in the ketones (C5F10O, C6F12O), nitriles (C4F7N) and CleanAir in highly non-uniform fields. Characterization and solid by-product identification in non-regenerative gases (HFO ze/yf) and high magnification imaging of degradation. Experienced in material characterization (SEM, TEM, EDX, DGS, XPS, GC, FTIR) to see the effect of work function on first electron availability for gaseous insulation. Additional expertise in the domain of design and performance optimization of EHV power cables and accessories, Applied Data Processing and Machine Learning, Big Data, Time Series Statistical Analysis, statistical interpretation and mathematical modeling owing to my previous experience as a Mathematics Faculty. Keen on discussing and interchanging research ideas with fellow researchers in the field of HV/ Plasma Gaseous Insulation/ Solid Insulation/ Discharges and ML applications in allied fields.
