Biography

Colin E. J. Bowler Graduated in 1966 with a BS in Electrical Engineering from University of Aston in Birmingham UK. He also received an ME degree for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute awarded in 1970. From 1967 to 1994 he was employed by General Electric as a Generator Engineer, and Power Systems Engineer responsible for turbine-generator reliability concerns from power system interactions. From 1994 to 2002 he worked for ABB US T&D as an R&D Consultant in Power Systems and as principle developer of DSP based Power Electronic controls for Medium Voltage Static-Switches and Reactive Compensation Systems. Mr. Bowler is currently President of Instrumentation Technology Inc. a provider of DSP based SSR Protection Systems, and DFR and PMU monitoring and control systems for wide-area system dynamic performance. Mr. Bowler is a member of IEEE and has authored/coauthored several papers on SSR, Turbine-Generator Torsional Interactions, and System Dynamic Performance.
