Over thirty years of experience emphasizing advanced power systems assessment, development and implementation, project planning and control and component design and testing. Experience spans vendor, utility and consulting organizations with emphasis on nuclear power systems, including water, liquid metal and, particularly, advanced gas-cooled reactors. For the latter, expertise areas include pressure vessels and internal structures, heat transfer systems, power conversion systems and process heat applications (e.g. hydrogen production). Other key experience includes magnetic bearings development and applications, power electronics and distributed energy resources, plus network communication and control systems. Current emphasis areas of consulting include:

  • Systems, structures and components for advanced gas-cooled reactors, with emphasis on power conversion equipment, pressure boundary components and process heat/cogeneration applications
  • Systems engineering analyses, including requirements, functional analysis, performance and reliability analyses, plus related software applications
  • Magnetic and auxiliary bearing systems applications development and implementation support
  • Power electronic systems for distributed generation and storage, power quality and reliability, utility transmission and distribution
  • Demonstration project development, including project planning and control, and implementation support
  • Market research and analyses for advanced energy systems
  • Computer systems and software development and applications
