Speakers
Christopher Burge, P.E. of Tennessee Valley Authority
Biography:
Christopher Burge is the Sr. Program Manager of Grid R&D at Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) as well as the IEEE PES Chattanooga Section Chapter Chair. He has a passion for moving technology forward to address rapidly changing needs of the power grid. As a Sr. Program Manager of Grid R&D at TVA, he collaborates with research partners, such as universities, national laboratories, and the Electric Power Research Institute and manages a research portfolio of projects focused on improving grid operational capabilities, security, safety, reliability, and resiliency. Upon conclusion of research projects, he works with TVA subject matter experts to apply research learning and make it “operational”.
Before September 2020, he performed various power system studies on the TVA power system to ensure compliance with NERC standards, reliability interconnection of new generators and impacts of generation plant retirements. He was lead planning engineering on several large transmission system projects totaling over $100M in infrastructure improvement. He has participated in many industry working groups (WG) such as North American Transmission Forum (NATF), SERC Dynamics and Variable Energy WGs, as well as several IEEE and NERC WGs. In 2019, he played a significant role in creating the first power system modeling requirements for inverter-based resources seeking to interconnect to TVA’s power system. This helped ensure reliable adoption and integration of solar plants and battery energy storage systems. He also taught Electrical Energy Conversion and the course’s associated lab at University of Tennessee Chattanooga from 2018-2020.
He has a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology and a Bachelor’s of Science in Electrical Engineering from Mississippi State University. He is a part of Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) Honor Society as well as a licensed professional engineer in the state of Tennessee.
