Dr. John Gülen is currently Senior Principal Engineer and Bechtel Fellow (elected in 2018) in Bechtel Infrastructure & Power, Inc., Reston, VA. Since 2012, Dr. Gülen has been active in supporting Bechtel for new technology assessment (e.g., supercritical CO2, concentrated solar power (CSP), carbon capture and energy storage), steam/gas turbine technical assessment for power plant and other turbomachinery projects (performance, operability, and risk analysis). Prior to Bechtel, Dr. Gülen worked in General Electric (2000-2012) in various roles and contributed to the successful design, operation, analysis and testing of landmark power system projects including the steam-cooled H-System (Baglan Bay 109H in 2003) and IGCC 207FB (Duke Edwardsport in 2006). Before joining GE, Dr. Gülen worked in Thermoflow, Inc. (1996-2000) as developer of world-class power plant simulation software products. In ESPC, Inc. in 1994-96, Dr. Gülen worked on the data analysis of the 110 MWe Compressed-Air Energy Storage (CAES) plant in McIntosh, AL,. Dr. Gülen has been an internationally recognized expert in cutting edge gas/steam turbine power plant technology with more than 25 years of experience. He was invited by the National Academy of Engineering (USA) to participate on drafting a report on gas turbine technology (2018). He recently participated as an invited panelist in the review of US DOE’s STEP Project ($112 million), a 10 MW sCO2 pilot plant (in San Antonio, TX). Dr. Gülen is frequently invited to review archival papers submitted for publication to top journals, e.g., ASME J. Eng. for GTs & Power.
