The traditional centralized model of linear power generation and delivery through limited market monopoly conditions is giving way to a more diverse, dynamic and complex system. As a Project Development Engineer for the Center of Competence for Distributed Energy Systems, I am supporting a team dedicated to helping public and private sector companies make smart, sustainable investments in distributed energy systems. The Mission of the DES Center of Competence (CoC) is to position Siemens as the preferred solutions provider for Distributed Energy Systems. To accomplish this goal, I focus on cross-Division business opportunity development, technology/engineering expertise, financial offerings, and establishing Siemens as a thought leader in Distributed Energy Systems. In my role as a Power Project Developer, I work to utilize the array of Siemens solutions and technologies to optimize holistic offerings of electricity, hydrogen, and thermal systems for customers while serving internal and external stakeholders to advance the Distributed Energy Systems initiative at Siemens. I have more than 15 years of experience working in power generation. Most recently I served as Principal Engineer, Systems Integration Gas Turbines for Siemens Energy. As Team Lead for Mechanical Systems Proposal Engineering I was responsible for technical bid strategy, evaluation of applicable standards, vendor coordination and formal development of proposals based on customer needs.

Under sponsorship from Alcoa and a grant from the DOE; developed desalination and hot gas scrubbing technology. Design/build/test of fluid network systems including instrumentation systems.The system was designed as a desalination system using hot dry gas through saline solutions in a packed bed then cooling with fresh water sprays in a secondary circuit. The system also was able to remove contaminants from the gas stream. The net result was TDS removal from the saline spray and sulfur removal from the as stream. Utilized TDS meters, sulfur analyzers, humidity meters, pumps, flow meters, etc all controlled by custom programs developed in labview.
