Computational Renewables

Solutions for Governments

Investment sometimes falls simply not by technological limitations or lower cost alternatives short because of various market immaturity barriers such as non-standardized risks (both real and perceived), elevated transaction costs, policy uncertainty, and basic knowledge gaps in what renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies are, how they work, and whether they're reliable and financially viable.

Electricity Market Modelling and Financial Risk Management Instruments for Renewable Energy Projects

My research interest is in development of computational tools to combine our simulations of locational power markets with capacity expansion models, long-run marginal cost (LRMC) models, stochastic models of power and fuel prices based on spot and forward market data, and portfolio and risk management models, as well as cost-benefit and financial valuation models. These computational tool development aim to offer expertise in related subject areas, including industry structure and regulatory policy, fuel markets and environmental compliance matters, analysis of mergers and acquisitions, support of market-based rates applications, financial evaluation of procurement and risk management decisions, economic damages, and litigation support.
