Biography

Jason Fuller joined the staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) as a research engineer in 2009. He is currently the Technical Group Manager for PNNL’s Electricity Infrastructure group, a dynamic group of 80+ power system research engineers. Mr. Fuller’s area of interest includes distribution automation and analysis, and integration of advanced distribution-level technologies such as distributed generation and demand response. Project highlights include the development and application of GridLAB-D, a distribution-level simulation environment designed for smart grid applications and related co-simulation tools, such as FNCS and HELICS. He is currently the PNNL representative for DOE’s North American Energy Resilience Modelling efforts. Mr. Fuller is an active member in IEEE, Chair of the Distribution System Analysis Subcommittee and Chair of the Test Feeder Working Group, among other roles.
