Oliver Pacific Oliver Pacific serves as Spirae’s Chief Technology Officer, and brings more than 22 years of power generation experience in manufacturing, engineering, and field commissioning to the Spirae team. His experience is particularly extensive with
Allison, GE, Kawasaki, and Yanmar gas turbines from 1MW to 300MW in size, and diesels from Detroit Diesel
(DDC/MTU), Electro Motive (EMD), and Caterpillar from 250KW-35MW. Mr. Pacific worked for Valley Power Systems
for 13 years, where he became operations manager for the power products division. He managed manufacturing
and engineering with more than 100 employees and annual sales of $30 million.
He later moved to Statordyne Corporation, a manufacturer of rotary UPS systems. At Statordyne - and later
at GFI Energy Ventures (acquired by Statordyne) - he served as Vice President of Engineering and as a
consultant. At Statordyne he led the use of CPS systems to produce peak efficiency in diesel power plants. He
also led the design of a multiple unit control system that included distributed generation, peak shaving, and
on-board SCADA. Statordyne's products ranged from 500KVA to 2MVA.
Mr. Pacific is also responsible for the development and integration of an innovative grid management
technology for Energinet.dk, the Danish transmission system operator. This project demonstrates hybrid
system operation of a high penetration wind and distributed energy generation system with advanced
distribution system functions such as self healing and islanded operations.
Oliver holds a degree from Idaho State University in power generation and distribution.
