Summary of Experience

Experience in power generation and distribution in voltage ranges from 230KV through 115KV and 13.8 KV to below 600 volts and considerable experience with control systems, vibration analysis, and environmental equipment was gained while working with Georgia Power Company at steam/electric generating stations. More recent experience includes power distribution and control system design for systems such as vacuum drum filters, centrifuges, clarifiers, pressure disc filters, and sewage collection/treatment facilities. Power distribution designs have included 15KV, 5KV and 6000 volt systems. Motor control has included variable speed drives for up to 500HP at 600 volts. Control system designs have included DCS systems (FoxboroI/A, Honeywell TDC 300, Moore APACS) and PLC based controls. Control system designs include P&IDs, loop sheets, motor elementaries, termination drawings, cable schedules, instrument indexes, and processor and operator interface programming.
