electric power generation equipment expert
combined-cycle electric power generating system expert
electric energy generation expert
fossil fuel expert
gas turbine electric energy generation expert |
Run an informal group of experts, about 160 who are attempting to devise and alternative energy strategy for the UK, Europe and the world. This involves looking at all the potential concepts, wind power, tidal power, biomass, solar power etc scoping the potential contribution, costs; looking at aspects of integration, rate of introduction, and to what extent alternatives can replace fossil and other forms of energy, but with low green house gas footprints.
Various concepts are robustly debated in this forum, which includes power station and transmission system operators and a whole range of different expertise. Hence I have developed a good knowledge of the technologies, there likely costs and applications. |

diesel-electric energy generation expert |
Very familiar with these. Have supervised the conversion of 30 standby diesels for use in peak lopping schemes in parallel with the grid. Understand costs and potential benefits. |
|
direct mail expert |
Have conducted direct mail campaigns to persuade industry in the UK to invest in peak lopping diesels and gas fired CHP for Caterpillar - Finning. |
|
district heating expert |
Familiar with costs, benefits and technology of district heating, losses, performances etc. |
|
wood burning expert |
Am familiar with equipment to burn waste wood - typically moving grate. these can be used to burn almost any kind of wood in any condition with certain exceptions).
Also familiar with the wood pellet market which has much drier fuel and is pelletized to a consistent size and standard and can be burnt typically in smaller domestic or commercial buildings for heat only. |
|
wastewater treatment expert |
Have worked as energy manager in a large waste water company for 9 years and very experienced in the operation of these plants including how to cut energy losses. |
|
wastewater pumping equipment expert |
Expert has developed a system to benchmark the performance of waste water pumping systems for the UK water industry. This enables users to look at all pump performance in terms of kWh/Ml/m lift.
Expert has also developed a method of detecting anomous pump running by automatic analysis of pump half hour power data. |
|
electricity price expert |
Whilst at Expert's Firm as energy manager, i was responsible for the purchase of 270 GW h/ year worth about $30million dollars. By predicting price forward and purchasing 3 years at the bottom of the market i saved the company $8million dollars over 3 years. Expert has a keen interest in what makes up the electricity price. |
