Eugene G. Preston's Resume

Dissertation on composite generation/transmission reliability (1.25 Mb) Appendices A B C D and Bibliography and Defense
IEEE paper on generation reliability modeling with transmission constraints
IEEE paper on transmission reliability modeling for multiple line outages (zipflow)

My dissertation also revealed a way to perform Piecewise Quadratic time domain analysis.

The US is moving too slowly in reducing its dependence on fossil fuels.
This graph shows the US has made little progress in weaning off fossil fuels. The graph is part of a larger presentation by Ken Rose.
In his presentation Ken showed two possible futures depending on whether we do or don't transition off fossil fuels soon.
We need a national energy and environmental plan that is affordable.

My favorite idea is: "advancement comes after false ideas are rejected".
