Wind Integration in Electric Power Systems and Markets
It is clear that wind energy will have a significant role in the future of electricity generation. As wind penetration increases in existing systems, the impact of its intermittency could have a significant impact on the reliability of the power system. The broad goal of this research project is to characterize this uncertainty and its impact, and to develop methodologies for mitigating the uncertainty. The future energy grid will almost certainly include a portfolio of renewable generation options, technology pairing and price responsive demand (consumption). The operational possibilities for these options is a complex and exciting area of research. Collaborators on these projects include Dr. J. Cardell (Smith), Prof. Tim Mount (AEM, Cornell), Prof. R. Thomas (ECE, Cornell), and Dr. R. Zimmerman (ECE, Cornell).
Impacts of Uncertainty in Biobased Industries - this is a developing project in collaboration with Professor Larry Walker and the Biofuels Research Laboratory.
I have current openings for graduate students in both of these projects. If you are interested in discussing opportunities in my research program, please email me at landerson dot cornell dot edu.
