    Energy Discovery | Design | DevelopmentExecutive Leadership and Technical Management in the R&D, Design, and Commercialization of PowerSILO Power Generation Technology. PowerSILO Technology is a heat agnostic, integral Updraft Tower process that can provide the dual functions of A) Standalone DER Geothermal Based (HDR) Renewable Energy Power Generation; and B) Rankine Cycle Cogeneration power generation solution for Zero Emission power generation, harnessing Low Grade Waste Heat from the cooling loop waste heat of a zero emissions thermal electric power generation facility.The Climate and Social Impacts of PowerSILO are substantial in that it represents the ability to produce abundant clean power, provide green commodities with the use of existing, abundant and reliable geothermal energy or zero emission power infrastructure provide a solution that is both commercially viable and sustainable. The Commercial Impacts of PowerSILO are the immediate availability of reliable, renewable geothermal power generation and improvements in generation efficiency with cogeneration, from the largest single zero emission resource of the nation’s clean power generation infrastructure. PowerSILO Technology generates clean power that is Available, Accessible, Affordable, Abundant, Applicable, and integral with existing powerplant infrastructure. When successfully developed and adopted, PowerSILO will help achieve the development of multiple alternative revenue streams for utility customers, i.e., Grid Flexing Operations, Pink and Green Hydrogen, and Green Water Filtration/ Desalination.National Science Foundation Awardee, January 2023PowerSILO Modified Updraft Tower for Cogeneration and Geothermal Renewable EnergyPatents US 10859066 Sub-Terranean Updraft Tower (STUT) Power GeneratorPatents US 11381134 Sub-Terranean Updraft Tower (STUT) Power GeneratorLet’s start a conversation.#Geothermal, #Cogeneration, #Pink Hydrogen, #Green Hydrogen

  • Pacific Gas And Electric Company
    Remote Grid Product Manager
    Pacific Gas And Electric Company Nov 2021 - Jan 2024
    Oakland, California, Us
    Grid Innovation is PG&E’s “Skunk Works” which evaluates and demonstrates emerging technologies, concepts and processes that PG&E will need to design and operate the resilient energy system of the future. The Remote Grid team is a growing initiative within Grid Innovation whose mission is to deploy a new concept for utility service using local, permanently islanded Standalone Power Systems (typically solar, batteries, and fuel-powered generation). This radical form of utility service using remote microgrids is being rapidly developed through an ambitious “intrapreneurial” venture with the driving focus of reducing wildfire risk for rural electric customers across Northern and Central California. The objective of the Remote Grid team is to develop and validate the concept and productize Remote Grid solutions as standard offerings, such that they can be considered alongside other service arrangements and/or wildfire risk mitigation activities. In addition to reducing wildfire risk, Remote Grids and other line elimination tools could be a cost-effective solution to address rebuild, reliability and capacity needs for traditionally high cost to serve customers.As Remote Grid Product Manager I oversee the execution of a growing portfolio of high-profile pilot projects currently in flight and under development and play a central role in coordinating across the various functions and teams involved in early stage microgrid projects, including Engineering, Customer Care, Project Management, Land Rights, Environmental Permitting, and Policy and Strategy.
