Research Vision & Mission
My research focuses on power system optimization and control, grid integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) from technical and economic aspects, including renewable energy integration, and power markets and power system economics. I conduct applied research on utility business models and distributed optimal electricity market design algorithms that are required to catalyze investment in distributed generation systems by blending variable renewable energy (VRE) and flexible natural gas options in order to hasten the transition to a low carbon economy. I’d like to employ new economic thinking to evaluate the stringency and design of energy and environmental policies on power and utilities using dynamic and multi-regional econometric models, including investigating technical challenges of grid integration of DERs, understanding how VRE market participation will transform the wholesale electricity markets in the U.S., and applying game-theoretical approaches to define the “right” equilibrium number and structure of DER aggregators, improve system flexibility and enable unprecedented innovation in climate change mitigation.
