  Keith R. Cooper, P.E. - Biographical Sketch  
 
EDUCATION 
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, University of Michigan 
  • B.S. in Mathematics, University of Michigan 
  • M.S. in Electrical Engineering, University of Pittsburgh 
WORK EXPERIENCE 
1962 - 1964
 Worked at Westinghouse Electric Corporation designing hardware and writing computer programs for automatic power dispatching equipment. 
   
1964 - 1970 
 Joined U. S. Steel. Developed computer simulation of plant processes and computer programs for data logging and process control. Programmed in both Fortran and assembly languages. 
   
1970 - 1983
 Developed in-house capability for conducting electrical power system analyses for U. S. Steel's 14 plants. Power system analyses included short-circuit, load-flow, voltage regulation, motor starting, harmonic, protective device coordination, power factor correction, arc furnace flicker, system reliability, and electrical energy management. In addition, responsible for trouble-shooting protective device malfunctions in the field, designing protective relay systems, and planning and estimating power systems for new facilities. Taught seminars to 100 engineers in power system analysis, design of protective device system, and protective device coordination. 
   
1983 - Present
 Joined C-M-B Engineering Services ("CMB") as Principal Engineer. C-M-B is a consulting firm specializing in performing power system studies such as short-circuit, protective device coordination, load flow, voltage regulation, power factor, harmonic. These studies are used for planning and design of new/upgraded facilities, to solve problems in the field, and to improve and maintain existing power systems.
