Calvin Kinsel

Calvin Kinsel

Director of Engineering and Project Engineering Manager, United Engineers and Constructors, Inc

Calvin "Cal" Kinsel joined United Engineers & Constructors, an United E&C Inc. legacy company, as a mechanical systems engineer supporting nuclear power projects in 1977 after receiving a B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken NJ. In 1989 Cal Kinsel was first assigned as a project engineering manager and through 2005 managed multi-discipline Engineering teams on projects associated with the design and construction as well as the modification and maintenance of nuclear power plants, fossil power plants and metals industry facilities, all within United legacy companies. In 2002 Kinsel received his MS in Engineering Management from Drexel University. In 2006 he left his project engineering management role. He was assigned as the discipline manager for all mechanical engineering within the Engineering & Construction division of AECOM (the United E&C Inc. predecessor) responsible for the discipline engineering work processes as well as the on-going development of the engineering staff. In September 2019 Kinsel was named director of project engineering management for all nuclear services work performed within United.

"This is my first year at POWERGEN and so far I can just say, wow, this event is huge. I never thought I would have access to so many different vendors and so many different experts in the energy industry by coming to an event like this."

"It's my first time at POWERGEN. I'm having a great time walking around and seeing all of the booths in the exhibit hall and everything that everybody's trying to sell me, as well as a lot of very useful technical presentations. My particular favorite has been the carbon capture track, but they've all been good that I've attended so far."

Janelle Dana

Entergy

"Hi, I’m Chad Lemoine with Entergy... here as a corrective actions program specialist. It’s my first time at POWERGEN, so it’s been great for networking. I’ve met personnel at our plants I’d only talked to on the phone, so that face-to-face interaction has been really good. I’ve enjoyed meeting new people, learning about what they do, and how it interacts with my work... Overall, it's been a really good time."

"I think my favorite part of the conference has been essentially the Smarter Power Plant Track. There's been a lot of good [takeaways] for us because our plans are quite old, so there's a lot of manual readings and things, but me being the IT generation, I think it could be done better. So having a lot of these [takeaways] from companies who have [accomplished what] we are wanting to do is great. It's been really eye opening networking with all of the exhibitors [as well]. It's my first time here, but I don’t think it's going to be my last."

Jonathan Hellborg

Svensk Kraftreserv

“Nel’s chosen to sponsor and be part of POWERGEN because it's one of the more important shows in the hydrogen market, also the power generation market in general. Over the years, we've seen a shift in POWERGEN from more traditional power generation to a greater presence with renewables, and now with hydrogen, as an energy source, moving into the future.”

Chris Van Name

Nel Hydrogen

“We're here today at the conference because I believe this is the largest power generation conference there is in the country. One, it's a way to get our name out and that's why we're sponsoring it. But two, it's also a great way to connect with other groups, other organizations and, you know, meet the people who are actually important for our own progression as a company.”

James Walker

Nano Nuclear Energy, Inc

“We come to POWERGEN every year because it's a great show you can make great contacts in the renewable space, great contacts in the data center space, great contacts in the commercial industrial space. So that's why we're here every year. You should be here too.”
