G.
Roger Bérubé graduated
from McGill University in Montréal, Canada, with a B.Eng. and
M.Eng. in electrical engineering in 1981 and 1982 respectively.
Since 1982, he has worked mainly on the modelling, testing and
development of excitation and governor controls for synchronous
generators, first at Ontario Hydro, and since 2000 as one of
the principals at Kestrel Power Engineering. He is a registered
Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario and a member
of the IEEE Power Engineering Society.
Les M. Hajagos
received his B.A.Sc. in 1985 and his M.A.Sc. in 1987 from the University of Toronto and
is a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario.
Since 1988 he has worked mainly in the analysis, design, testing and modeling of
generator, turbine and power system control equipment and power system loads,
first at Ontario Hydro, and since 2000 as one of the principals at Kestrel Power Engineering.
He is an active member of the IEEE Power Engineering Society as chair
of the Generator Model Validation and Excitation System Modeling task forces and
is a member of the NERC Generator Model Validation Standards Drafting Team.
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 Province of Ontario and 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.

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.
Leonardo Lima
received his B.S.E.E. in 1986, his M.Sc. in 1991 and his D.Sc. in 1999 from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
He has more than 20 years of professional experience in power system analysis and simulation, including system studies for transmission planning
and operation. He worked in the development of the small-signal stability program PacDyn between 1984 and 1988.
In 1992, he joined the Power System Engineering Department of the Universidade Federal Fluminense, in Niterói, Brazil,
as an Assistant Professor, lecturing under-graduate and graduate courses in classical control theory, power system analysis,
power system stability, power system planning, and electrical machines. He became a full Professor in 1999.
He joined the PTI’s (currently Siemens PTI) consulting practice in 2002 and became a Principal Consultant in 2009,
where he specialized in dynamic modeling and simulation using PSS/E. He joined Kestrel Power Engineering in 2010 as a Senior Engineer.
He is a member of the IEEE Power Engineering Society and is currently the Secretary of the Power System Stability Controls Subcommittee
of the Power System Dynamic Performance Committee.
