Wayne Carr, Founder and CEO of Milsoft Utility Solutions Inc. Title: Vision for the future of software analysis in the Electric Distribution Utility industry Abstract: The Electric Utility Distribution Engineering Industry has never seen such a time of change and opportunity. The increasing implementation of distributed generation, driven by renewable energy sources, is changing how we do Engineering and Operations. Traditional E&O (Engineering and Operations) methods based on power flow in one direction from the generation grid to end point load points are becoming less and less appropriate in an environment where power flow is now possible from both source and end points. Thus our traditional E&O software tools are also becoming less and less useful. Milsoft, along with our partner and competitor software vendors, must adjust if we are to maintain viability in our market. Existing E&O software tools have evolved in an “Application Centric” approach. The application drives the definition of its data and often captures and controls its data in a way that makes it very difficult for applications to share and transfer data. We believe that future successful E&O software systems must be “Data Centric.” An approach which allows data to be defined and maintained independent of the applications that use and contribute to that data. This presentation will discuss these issues and ideas while encouraging new engineers and other technology graduates to seek positions in the Electric Utility E&O Industry. Biography: Mr. Carr has served as the Founder and Chief Development Engineer for Milsoft Utilities Solutions since 1989. He received his BSEE from the University of Texas at Austin in 1970. He was a past chairman of IEEE Rural Electric Power Conference and he was a registered professional engineer in Texas from 1976 to 2015 and was the National Council of Engineering Examiners from 1987 to 2014. He received the A.P. Seethapathy Rural Electrification Excellence Award in 2014. He worked as Power Engineer for Houston Lighting and Power from 1970 to 1976. As Distribution Engineer for Erath County Electric Cooperative from 1976 to 1980. As Distribution Consulting Engineer for Milford Engineering from 1980 to 1989. He is now enjoying a semi-retirement role with Milsoft, doing Electrical Distribution Analysis software design and development while also enjoying fishing and grand parenting.

Tuesday Plenary Session Speakers Location: Salon DE
Tom Weaver – Manager, Distribution System Planning Title: Effect of new technology in Electric Utility Industry Abstract: This presentation will start with a discussion of the role of the Utility Distribution Engineer as the utility industry adopts more technology and changes to meet new customer, political, and commercial expectations. Much of the utility infrastructure in rural areas where growth has not driven upgrades since facilities were installed in the 1930’, 40’s, or 50’s is in need of replacement. Technology is providing opportunities to automate some of the switching and voltage control of the circuits as well as provide visibility and remote control to the system operators. Customers and third parties are installing Distributed Generation which challenges the long-standing “one way flow” of power on distribution circuits. Customers and utilities are installing Microgrids that provide energy assurance at critical loads and engage renewable energy sources. The discussion will include an update on how American Electric Power’s Operating Companies are modernizing their distribution systems and how the Distribution Engineer is at the center of all of this exciting change in the utility industry. Biography: Tom Weaver has been with American Electric Power (AEP) for 39 years. His first 23 years were at Kentucky Power Company where he worked in T&D Engineering, Metering, Communications, Customer Services, and Line Supervision positions. In 2000 he transferred to the AEP Service Corporation in the Distribution Planning function. He is currently Manager, Distribution System Planning with responsibility for System Planning, Network Planning and Engineering, and Grid Management Deployment. He has been actively involved in developing and applying deployment plans for Smart Circuit Technologies on the AEP distribution system since 2005. Tom is a Registered Professional Engineer in Kentucky with a BSEE from West Virginia University and a Masters in Business Administration from Morehead State University. Tom is a member of IEEE and is also active with EPRI as an advisor for Distribution Programs and EEI as Chair of the Distribution System Subcommittee.

Marija Ilic, Professor, Carnegie Melon University Title: Toward Assessing Effects of New Technologies in Electric Energy Systems: New Modular Modeling and Simulation Paradigm Abstract: As new technologies get integrated into the existing electric energy systems, it is critical to design cyber (control, communications) for enabling their desired performance. For example, it is hard to integrate large amount of solar or wind power without creating operating problems such as instabilities, and infeasible steady state conditions. In this talk we briefly summarize fundamental roadblocks to doing this using best industry practices of today. We next introduce a modular multi-layered modeling for future electric energy systems and show how a carefully-designed simulation platform can be used to benchmark dynamic response of changing electric power grids with various embedded cyber (control, communications). We describe how one such general simulation platform is designed using automated modeling of these systems in standard state space form. This simulator is particularly focused on the ability to show effects of embedded control. We illustrate the modeling approach and use of SGRS on two real-world local electric power grids by emulating dynamic response of these grids. This is done to demonstrate the effects of best industry practices and to compare them with performance of the same grids with several newly proposed control methods for microgrids. Biography: Professor Marija Ilić holds an appointment in the Departments of ECE and affiliate appointment in EPP at Carnegie Mellon University, where she has been a tenured faculty member since October 2002. She received her M.Sc. and D.Sc. degrees in Systems Science and Mathematics from Washington University in St. Louis and earned her MEE and Dip. Ing. at the University of Belgrade, Serbia. She is an IEEE Fellow and an IEEE Life Fellow. She was the first recipient of the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award for Power Systems. In addition to her academic work, Dr. Ilic is a consultant for the electric power industry and the founder of New Electricity Transmission Software Solutions, Inc. (NETSS, Inc.). From September 1999 until March 2001, she was a Program Director for Control, Networks and Computational Intelligence at the National Science Foundation. She has co-authored several books on the subject of large-scale electric power systems, and has co-organized an annual multidisciplinary Electricity Industry conference series at Carnegie Mellon (http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~electriconf) with participants from academia, government, and industry. She is the founder and co-director of the Electric Energy Systems Group at Carnegie Mellon University (http://www.eesg.ece.cmu.edu). She is currently on leave as a Visiting Professor at the newly formed MIT Institute for Data, Systems and Society (IDSS). She is also a Senior Staff in the Energy Systems group at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory.
