How you will make an Impact- Provide technical leadership on comprehensive assessments of resource capacity and energy adequacy for the New England power system.
- Develop innovative modeling techniques to integrate emerging supply- and demand-side technologies into probabilistic reliability assessments.
- Enhance and evolve ISO New England's resource adequacy models to reflect changing system conditions and regulatory or policy drivers.
- Propose and evaluate market design improvements, conduct simulations to quantify impacts, and lead stakeholder discussions to ensure alignment between models and reality.
- Lead research on optimal future resource mix development, including:
- Formulating multi-objective optimization problems (reliability, cost, emissions, flexibility)
- Identifying optimal technology portfolios under varying constraints and uncertainties
- Developing analytical frameworks for long-term planning under deep decarbonization scenarios
- Identify enhancements and desirable new functionalities for existing reliability, resource, and demand models; collaborate with vendors to implement improvements.
- Benchmark and evaluate alternative analytical tools to strengthen resource and energy adequacy assessments.
- Assess future system needs-including locational and temporal reliability trends-and evaluate the effectiveness of different technologies in meeting those needs.
- Provide technical and project leadership with internal and external stakeholder groups and various regional planning organizations.
What we are looking for - Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or related technical field (Master's preferred).
- 2+ years of experience in power system planning and research, especially in optimization, probabilistic resource and energy adequacy assessments and economic generation production simulations
- Strong quantitative and data analysis skills, capable of manipulating extensive and intricate data to identify trends and correlations
- Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team environment
- Desirable qualifications also include:
- Direct modeling experience using GE MARS
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, R, MATLAB, SAS), with a preference for familiarity with Python programming
- Knowledge with planning and operational criteria, standards, guidelines of ISO-NE, and reliability entities such as NPCC and NERC
- Familiarity with the New England generation and transmission system, planning practices, real-time operational challenges, and system topology
- Understanding of New England's wholesale electricity markets
