Background

About Daniel Leon

Over 30 years of experience in performance, leading, and management of power system studies for planning and operation of Bulk Electric Systems, applying state-of-the-art methodologies and software tools. In my career, I conducted and led numerous advanced system studies on large and complex power systems on topics such as transient security assessment, static and dynamic reductions, analysis of low-frequency oscillations, and long-term dynamic simulations, among others.Since 2012, I have been in management and leading roles, involved in business development and sales activities to promote engineering consulting services and specialized software tools for power system analysis. In these roles, I have built, managed, and led successful, productive, and well-integrated consulting teams, achieving outstanding business growth results. Passionate about Power Systems, I enjoy participating and collaborating in the Energy Transition by supporting developers of renewable energy projects to interconnect to the Grid and helping ISOs, TSOs, RTOs, and utilities to reach their decarbonization goals. Before starting my consultant career in Canada and the US, I worked for 15 years at the Unit of Specialized Engineering of CFE (Comision Federal de Electricidad), the government utility of Mexico.I also have had the opportunity to teach training courses to engineers of ISOs and utilities from North, Central, and South America, and I have published, presented, and co-authored several papers in international engineering meetings and conferences.Areas of Expertise:• Management, Business Development, Sales, and Technical Marketing• Generation Interconnection Studies• Integration of Renewable Energy to Transmission and Distribution Networks• Steady State and Dynamic Analysis for Power System Planning and Operation Studies• Power System Stability and Transient Security Assessment • System Studies for Oil & Gas Industry• Off-line and On-line Dynamic Security Assessment (DSA)• Static and Dynamic Reductions of Large Power Systems• Analysis of Low-Frequency Oscillations and PSS Tuning• Application of Software Tools for Power System Analysis• Training courses for Power System Engineers
