Kurt B. Sullivan
graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John’s, Canada,
with a B. Eng. in Electrical Engineering in 2002, and since then
has worked at Kestrel Power Engineering focusing on the modelling and testing of excitation and governor controls for synchronous
generators. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the Provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador and Alberta.
He is also a member of the IEEE Power Engineering Society.
Elmer Bourque
graduated from College Ste. Anne with a B.A. in 1965, and from the University of New Brunswick, Canada, with a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering in 1969. From 1974 to 2005, he worked at NB Power, mainly on power quality, instrumentation, commissioning and maintenance of fault recorders, synchronizers, governors, exciters, and power system stabilizers throughout the province. For some 20 years he represented the Maritime Area on the NPCC Control Performance Working Group. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of New Brunswick (Life member), a senior member of IEEE and member of the IEEE Power Engineering and Standards Societies.
Daniel Fischer
received his B.A.Sc. and M.A.Sc.in Electrical Engineering, in 1983 and 1984, respectively, both from the University of Toronto.
In 2003 he received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from McMaster University.
He is a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario.
Since 1988, while at the Ontario Hydro Research Division, and then at its successor company, Kinectrics,
he has worked on a variety of projects from specialized data acquisition systems, real time digital signal processing,
fault detection systems using a number of Artificial Intelligence techniques, and a digital power system stabilizer.
Since 2008, Daniel has been teaching a number of university courses in Microprocessors, Electronics, and Mechatronics,
and in 2011 he has joined Kestrel Power Engineering as a Power Systems Engineer. He is a senior member of the IEEE.
Chris M. Ricketts
graduated from Radio College of Canada in Toronto, Ontario in 1984,
with a diploma in electronics technology. Since that time, he has been working in electronics manufacturing,
including ten years with the facility that collaborated on the design, manufacture and calibration
of the various pieces of test equipment used by Kestrel Power Engineering Limited.
Chris has been with Kestrel Power Engineering since 2010 and has been registered
with the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists since 1993.
Prasath Selvanayagam
graduated from Sheridan Institute of Technology with Electronics Engineering Technology diploma in 2008,
and about to receive his B.Tech in Energy Engineering from McMaster University of Ontario, Canada. He is a member of IEEE.
He recently became an Engineer in Training (E.I.T.) and will continue working towards receiving his P.E.

Michael R. Fogarty
received his B.S.E.E. in 1996 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and since has conducted post graduate study in the areas of
System Reliability, Power System Dynamics and Control System Theory & Design.
Since 1996 he has worked primarily in the testing, analysis and engineering of generators, exciters and excitation control systems,
first at Commonwealth Edison, then starting in 2000 as one of the principals at Excitation System Services and currently at Kestrel Power Engineering.
He is a member of the IEEE Power Engineering Society.
C. Richard Mummert
graduated from Penn State University, with a B.S. in electrical engineering in 1974, and from University of Pittsburgh with an M.S.
in electrical engineering in 1977. He began with Westinghouse Electric in 1974 where his work included design of large synchronous generators
and analysis of interactions between generators and the power system. From 1986 to 2007 he worked on the design and development of voltage
regulators and static exciters, and continues to perform testing and modeling of generator controls for simulation model validation.
He is a registered professional engineer and a senior member of IEEE.
David Parry
received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 2009.
After interning with a independent power producer in the summer of 2008 and Kestrel in the Spring of 2009 he started working full time for
Kestrel in the summer of 2009. He is a member of IEEE as well as the Power and Energy Society. He recently became an Engineer in Training (E.I.T.)
and will continue working towards receiving his P.E.
