DR. HOWARD G. SEDDING - CURRICULUM VITAE BSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, 1980.

PhD in Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics, Brighton Polytechnic, Brighton, England, 1984.

MSc in Crystallography, University of London, London, England, 1986.

CITIZENSHIP: British and Canadian EMPLOYMENT HISTORY Principal Research Engineer, Kinectrics Inc. (formerly Ontario Hydro Research Division), Toronto, Canada (1988 - present).

Science & Engineering Research Council (SERC) post-doctoral research fellow, Brighton Polytechnic, Brighton, UK and Ontario Hydro Research Division, Toronto, Canada (1986 - 7).

SERC post-doctoral research fellow, Brighton Polytechnic, Brighton, UK (1983 - 6).

Research Assistant, Brighton Polytechnic, Brighton, UK (1980 - 3).

WORK EXPERIENCE Since joining the Research Division of Ontario Hydro in 1988 and through the subsequent changes that led to the evolution of Kinectrics, I have been involved in, or responsible for, numerous projects related to the specification, testing, monitoring and maintenance of solid, liquid and gaseous electrical insulation systems in a wide range of high voltage electrical equipment. Many of these projects not only require technical expertise but also the ability to communicate with all levels within an organization, from shop floor to boardroom. Further, the majority of this work is performed in the field thus requiring the ability to manage logistics and interface with several other organizations. Some key projects and responsibilities include, Rotating machines x Providing electrical diagnostic field testing and condition assessment services throughout North America for turbine and hydroelectric generators and motors.

x Operating a laboratory facility providing quality assurance testing of rotating machine insulation, e.g. voltage endurance, thermal cycling, turn insulation capability, etc., to utilities, independent power producers and process industries.

x Development of the stator slot coupler (SSC) and associated technology enabling routine on-line partial discharge measurements on large turbine generators. This technology is now used on hundreds of machines worldwide.

x Development of other condition monitoring technologies for rotating machines including rotor temperature monitoring, detection and risk assessment of stator winding coolant channel plugging, core monitor optimization and detection and location of interturn stator short circuits in induction motors.

x Delivering consulting services in the areas of rotating machine electrical insulation application, performance, testing, maintenance and failure analysis.

These services have been provided to a wide range of clients including OPG, Alstom, Siemens-Westinghouse, TransAlta, Duke Energy, US Army Corps of Engineers, Electricite de France.

Cables and switchgear x Leading a team of three engineers and four technologists providing field testing of medium voltage cables and switchgear in substations and generating stations.

x After-laying high voltage commissioning and partial discharge testing of transmission class cable circuits. These projects have been executed in Canada, the US and Mexico as well as overseas including Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Cable installations of this type are usually associated with major infrastructure projects and require the ability to liaise with several organizations and deal with cultural and language differences that exist on overseas sites.

x Development of cable condition monitoring and life assessment strategies for nuclear generating stations.

x Development of wireless temperature sensors for electrical contact monitoring in medium voltage metalclad switchgear in various hydroelectric generating stations.

x Maintenance and commissioning testing of medium voltage cables, switchgear and bus.

x Failure analysis of oil-paper and solid extruded polymer cable and accessories.

Among the clients to whom such services have been provided are OPG, Bruce Power, Hydro One, Siemens, LS Cables, Southwire and Iberdrola.

Transformers x Consulting services in the areas of performance, testing, maintenance, failure analysis of oil-filled and dry-type transformers.

x Applying low frequency diagnostic test methods to transformer condition assessment.

x Transformer end-of-life assessment.
