Early career

From 1997 to 2003, Dr. Santoso was a senior power systems and consulting engineer with Electrotek Concepts. He was the lead developer for a number of intelligent systems algorithms used in power systems with applications in power quality and protection. These algorithms were commercialized as AnswerModule and are embedded in the advanced power quality monitoring platform, Dranetz's Encore (formerly known as Signature Systems). These algorithms are also deployed in PQView - a multi-component software system developed by Electrotek Concepts and EPRI for building and analyzing databases of power, power quality, and energy measurements. In addition, he carried out a wide variety of power systems studies in generation, transmission, and distribution systems. Examples of these studies include but not limited to wind power integration and interconnection studies,
