Research Interests
Integration issues associated with large-scale wind energy. Specific interests include implementation of energy storage solutions as a strategy for optimizing transmission utilization and mitigating the variability inherent in wind. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is of particular interest for enhancing the capacity factor of large wind farms and allowing wind to play a role in baseload power markets. Other topics include the competition of large-scale wind with other low-carbon technologies such as coal IGCC with CCS under various climate mitigation policy scenarios.
