Michael Coddington
is a Senior Electrical Engineering
Researcher and Principal Investigator in Distributed Grid
Integration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory
in Golden Colorado, and has been with the laboratory for five
years. Prior to NREL, Michael worked in the electric utility
sector as a Distribution Planning Engineer, System Planning
Engineer, Key Account Manager, and other roles. His work
at NREL focuses on the integration of photovoltaic systems
(
and other distributed generation systems) to the electric
distribution system, with a focus on high penetration PV
concerns and solutions. He has authored and collaborated
on dozens of technical reports and white papers focusing
on integrating distributed generation systems onto the grid.
Michael is active in standards and codes development, is a
Senior Member of the IEEE, was Secretary of IEEE 1547.6,
and is a voting member of the UL1741 Standards Technical
Panel (STP). Michael received his BSEE from Colorado
State University, is a licensed Master Electrician and licensed
Electrical Contractor in the State of Colorado.
Blake Lundstrom
is a Research Electrical Engineer in
the Distributed Energy Systems Integration group at the
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden,
Colorado, where he has been employed since 2009. His
research at NREL is focused on integration of distributed
and renewable energy resources into the electric distribution
system. Specifically, his research involves distribution
system modeling, advanced power electronics development,
modeling and evaluation of microgrid systems, and advanced
modeling and evaluation methods for grid interconnection
systems using real-time hardware-in-the-loop techniques.
Blake also plays a key role as a member of the operations
team for NREL’s Energy Systems Integration Facility. He has
taught courses in Electrical Engineering as an adjunct faculty
member at Colorado School of Mines. Blake is a member
of IEEE and a registered Engineering Intern in the State of
Colorado. He received his B.S. in Engineering (Electrical
Specialty – Power Systems) from Colorado School of Mines,
where he is also currently finishing his graduate work.
