RMS Energy proudly welcomes Sam Maleki to their growing leadership team as a Director in the T&D Engineering and Consulting organization.
Sam brings over 14 years of extensive experience in the engineering and consulting sectors. He graduated with a Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Western University, London, Ontario, Canada. In his recent role as Senior Principal Engineer at Electric Power Engineers, he has led high-impact teams specializing in interconnections for both traditional and renewable energy projects across North America and globally. His areas of expertise include power system stability, electromagnetic transients (EMT), and real-time simulation studies. Sam has played a key role in technical discussions among developers, OEMs, and utilities, facilitating effective collaboration on complex projects. He has successfully managed the power system studies of several GWs of loads and generation, transient studies (TOV, TRV, insulation coordination, etc.), and conducted advanced HVDC and FACTS dynamic studies. His work encompasses transient analyses, voltage and angle stability, Sub-Synchronous Oscillation assessments for both conventional and inverter-based resources, as well as hydrogen facilities and data centers.
In addition to his technical leadership, Sam has developed system study automation tools and software, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in engineering analyses. He is also an active contributor to several working groups/events within NERC, IEEE, CIGRE, and ESIG. He also plays various roles in educating future engineers through training sessions and workshops at various universities.
“I’m thrilled to join such a talented and diverse team in the RMS Energy organization and the Neos Partners portfolio.
