Gregory A. Ruszovan
Senior Analyst
Gregory Ruszovan, a Senior Energy Analyst, has over 20 years of experience in energy conservation, advanced computer data analysis, database programming and utility production simulation modeling.
Mr. Ruszovan received a B.S. in Management Information Science from the School of Business at California State University, Sacramento in 1983.
Since joining JBS Energy in 1989, Mr. Ruszovan has performed energy-related computer analysis of utility operations, energy data analysis, and major utility customer data base design and development. He has designed and developed a multi-relational database, including a customized data entry program for each major utility, to process and analyze individual facility energy use data.
He has built models to integrate analysis of hourly market pricing data and hourly load data for individual customers or customer classes, has performed detailed statistical analysis of economic and demographic factors affecting residential energy usage in California, and has provided analytical analysis in support of testimony before public utility commissions nationwide.
Mr. Ruszovan filed testimony at the California Public Utilities Commission on temperature parameters for gas demand forecasts.
Mr. Ruszovan also analyzed the need for, designed, and programmed a large relational database which tracks energy related projects and contracts initiated by the State of California's Office of Energy Assessments. This system forecasts energy savings of the projects, and provides summary reporting of projects in progress.
In 1993 he presented a paper at the Annual Conference of the Canadian Wind Energy Association, which details a method to value capacity for wind turbines using production simulation and analytical techniques. He has analyzed capacity value of photovoltaics, written a report critiquing computer models used to evaluate photovoltaics, and modeled utility systems in Hawaii and Southern California. He used production simulation models and built additional software tools to analyze cost effective emissions control strategies for electric generation in the Los Angeles air basin.
He completed a multi-year assignment analyzing the Ontario Hydro system for both cost and reliability using utility production simulation modeling. Nuclear power plants were subjected to in-depth modeling to analyze their impacts on Ontario Hydro system operation.
From 1984 to 1987, Mr. Ruszovan was responsible for evaluation, specification, bid preparation, and project management in installing lighting conservation in public housing for Ahmo Garden and Associates. As a principal energy consultant, he performed energy audits, prepared reports on energy use and potential savings options, and acted as the company's operations manager.
From 1987 to 1989, Mr. Ruszovan owned a computer services company. He performed statistical analysis, and project management services for local businesses and government agencies. He also administered the California Energy Bank program for the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency.
