PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION, DALLAS, TX 1995 TO PRESENT
ASSOCIATE
Apply operations management techniques and information technology to the
complex market and regulatory issues facing electric and gas utilities in
a variety of planning and operating areas. Projects include:
- Developing methodologies and functional specifications for a system
that an Independent System Operator will use to manage and price
limited transmission capacity in the post-1998 restructured
California electric utility industry to give equitable access to the
parties competing for transmission services.
- Performing a cost-benefit analysis of an information system for
managing a utility's power purchase and transmission contracts.
MYKYTYN CONSULTING GROUP, INC., SAN RAFAEL, CA 1990 TO 1995
VICE PRESIDENT
Led the Company's Operations Research & Economics Practice for gas and
electric utilities. Managed project teams engaged in developing
methodologies and information systems to evaluate the market potential of
new business areas, to improve utility operations and to meet new
regulatory requirements. Presented results in regulatory workshops.
Projects included:
- Developing financial models to evaluate the market potential for new
natural gas services (natural-gas-vehicle fueling stations and fuel
cell generation).
- Developing a methodology for auctioning power purchase contracts to
qualifying generation facilities and implementing the required
systems for two California electric utilities.
- Designing and conducting an auction by which a gas utility awarded
contracts for insulation and repair of low-income housing.
- Designing an integrated information system for a utility for use in
planning and tracking the utilization of its gas supply contracts,
transportation contracts and storage contracts.
- Formulating new definitions of system reliability and implementing
an approach to setting gas storage targets that explicitly considers
uncertainties in supply, demand and storage field performance.
ARTHUR D. LITTLE, INC., SAN FRANCISCO, CA 1989 TO 1990
CONSULTANT
Worked with utilities, transportation companies, and their suppliers in
addressing changes in their business environments, assessing the markets
for new services, and improving their resource allocation and planning
functions. Projects included:

- Assessing the market for high-voltage substation equipment and
turn-key substations for a multi-national manufacturer of electrical
equipment.
- Assessing the market among electric and gas utilities for an
advanced decision support system and aiding the client in recruiting
partners to develop applications based on their technology.
- Designing a yield management system for a transportation company.
The project included designing a system to forecast demand and
designing methods to control availability of product offerings to
enhance profits.
PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 1979 TO 1989
During my ten years at PG&E I held the following four positions:
- SENIOR FUELS PLANNER
Led the Analytical Tools Group of the Fuels Policy Department in
developing methodologies and information systems to improve the
operation of PG&E's gas system and assess the impacts of new state
and federal regulations. Projects included determining the amount of
gas storage that could be used to provide a new gas banking service
and an appropriate price for the service.
- CONSULTING OPERATIONS RESEARCH ENGINEER
Led a team of seven engineers in developing analytical techniques
and conducting studies for system planning, rate design, power
control center operations, and power contract negotiations. Projects
included developing an approach to setting rates for electric power
wheeling transactions that allocates costs based on the facilities
used by each transaction.
- FUELS PLANNER
Coordinated the efforts of several departments in analyzing the fuel
oil requirements of PG&E's steam generation units. Devised an
optimal oil inventory policy and developed testimony to support the
policy before the California Public Utilities Commission.
- COMPUTER APPLICATIONS ENGINEER
Developed systems to solve PG&E's planning, operating, and
forecasting problems. Supervised three analysts. Projects included
developing methods for determining the marginal costs related to
generation operation and capital expansion.
DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS, CARNEGIE-MELLON UNIVERSITY, PITTSBURGH, PA
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW 1976 TO 1979
Investigated the properties of large-scale optimization problems.
Studied their use in determining optimal expansion plans for
telephone networks and evaluating the marginal cost of serving
additional calls.
Co-developer of a new undergraduate curriculum in Operations
Research. Taught the initial undergraduate OR course. Developed a
self-paced optimization course and wrote the text for the course.
