My electric power industry experience spans more than 40 years electric utility transmission and distribution (T&D) engineering and management. I currently focus on photovoltaic (PV) integration impacts on distribution systems, plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) impact analyses, Smart Grid roadmapping, and grid modernization through the integration of new technologies, such as microgrids.I started my career as a distribution planning engineer and progressed into the management of T&D planning, T&D construction and maintenance, and electric system strategy. During this time, I focused on asset management, distribution automation, system reliability improvement, and organizational improvement programs. I also managed T&D research and development (R&D) for EPRI, including work on the System of the Future and on-line equipment diagnostics.
