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.

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

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
