Abstract

IEEE GOLD will be hosting a Panel with distinguished speakers from industry and academia who will speak about the state of green energy in Ontario and the world. In particular, we are interested in discussing topics such as state-of-the art of Green Technology in Ontario or Canada (wind, solar, water, etc), federal or provincial energy policy that affects investment or advancement of green technologies in Canada/Ontario, key players in industry, the current state of power generation, future plan as well as any other interesting topics that surround the subject of green energy. Anyone who is interested to learn more about this topic is welcome to attend.

Mojtaba Jalambadani
Mojtaba (Moji) has sixteen years of professional practical experiences in multi-disciplinary engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) and commissioning of HV substations, power plants, and industrial plants. Currently, he is a Senior Project Engineer for new generation connection projects at HyrdoOne including embedded distribution generation connections and transmission connections. Moji also manages more than five external consultants for HydroOne's major outsourced projects such as distribution generation connections and relay replacement projects.

Alourdes Sully
Ms Sully has over 21 years of engineering and business experience in Telecommunications and Utility Power System. She is leading the engineering design teams responsible for Distributed Generation Connections at Hydro One.

As a Senior Technical Specialist, she led the conceptual design and implementation of NERC Cyber Security CIP Standards dealing with Physical Security at Hydro One’s critical substations and led the feasibility study overseeing the next generation Wide Area Network (WAN) infrastructure to support critical applications including Smart Grid for the Power System.

In 1999, she joined Ontario Hydro, as a Senior Telecom Engineer responsible for Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) design, Network Management, IP Data Communications and Network Synchronization for Hydro One Bulk Electricity System.

Prior to Hydro One, she worked at Vidéotron and DTI Telecom (now a member of SNC–-Lavalin Group) where she engineered, implemented and managed Wireless & Broadband Optical Fiber Networks for Voice, Video, Data Applications and Cable TV Networks.

Alan S. Fung
Dr. Alan S. Fung, P.Eng., an Associate Professor at Ryerson University, oversees a vigorous research program on sustainable building integrated energy systems/net-zero energy buildings. He has authored and co-authored over 180 journal/conference publications, book chapter, technical reports and workshop presentations with more than 100 HQPs. He cofounded and was the manager of the Canadian Residential Energy End-Use Data and Analysis Centre (CREEDAC) at Dalhousie University from 1995 to 2005. He is a member of the NSERC Solar Buildings Research Network (SBRN) dedicated to achieving cost effective net-zero energy buildings in Canada. He has recently undertaken the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)-Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) Archetype Sustainable House Project for the Ryerson-TRCA Partnership in R&D on sustainable energy and community development. Dr. Fung is a key member of the Ampas-Ryerson SUI CMHC Equilibrium Housing Competition winning project of Davenport Townhouse development and the engineering faculty coordinator at Ryerson for Team North, the 2009 US DOE Solar Decathlon competition team. Team North was ranked 4th overall among 20 international finalists. Among many committees Dr. Fung serves on, the most notable is the International Building Performance Simulation Association of Canada (IBPSA-Canada) which aims to promote building simulation education and research in Canada for sustainable building design. Dr. Fung is also recipients of the Governor General’s Gold Medal, CMHC Excellence in Education Award, Ryerson FEAS Research Excellence Award. He was also named an "Earth Angel" by Toronto Star in April 2009.

Milfred Hammerbacher
With over 23 years of photovoltaic experience, Milfred has managed companies in four countries. Most recently, he spent 12 months in an executive consulting role in China on behalf of our parent company, Canadian Solar Inc. Before that, he was President of SSP Inc. and Assistant General Manager of Photowatt International. Milfred has a diverse business and technical background.

Donald Wallace
Dr. Donald Wallace was appointed as Executive Director for the Ontario Centre for Engineering and Public Policy in 2008. The Centre was approved by PEO Council to better serve and protect the public interest by engaging the engineering profession in developing public policy. It will focus on developing policy papers and related research, holding conferences and engaging decision-makers to bring the collective learning of engineers to bear on solving society’s technical challenges.

Donald Wallace holds a PhD in political science. Most recently, Dr. Wallace was Associate Provost, Policy and Planning, at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, where his responsibilities included liaising with a wide variety of government agencies and outside bodies; strategic, operational and financial planning; institutional research; resource allocation and budgeting; staffing; governance and policy development; government and inter-institutional relations; and space and facilities.
