Company Affiliation
Dennis is the Publisher of OPUS Publishing.
Domain Knowledge
Dennis is a recognized international expert in
object-oriented technology. He has facilitated many technical workshops and training
programs to establish the basis for interoperability between systems that must achieve a
unified operational objective. Dennis uses the Universal Modeling Language (UML) for
modeling the devices, the Interface Definition Language (IDL) for specifying interfaces
between components, and Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) for defining data objects to
be exchanged between intelligent electronic devices.
Under
contract to the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI), Dennis directed the developed
an interoperability test and evaluation laboratory to rapidly prototype design solutions
for electrical power delivery substation automation that integrates protection, control
and data acquisition on the substation communication network.
Dennis is available for consulting services through OPUS
Publishing to develop strategic business plans and a coherent roadmap to achieve the goals
and objective with concrete measures of performance using an ‘expected value’
model for generating revenue.

International Conference on Large High Voltage
Electrical Systems (CIGRE) Study Committee 23:
Dennis is the United States representative to WG05 that is responsible
for defining new concepts for secondary systems that require standardization of
communication protocols and hardware interfaces for the application of local and remote
support systems.
Study Committee 34: Dennis is the United States representative to
TF01 that is responsible for harmonizing European and US
requirements for communication test scenarios used by IEC and IEEE.
Dennis is also the editor for TF07 that is responsible for developing
a study report on the automation of new and existing substations, and
he is responsible for Clause 6 - "The role of the system
integrator".
