Presented by: Ramteen Sioshansi, Carnegie Mellon University

This webinar provides an overview of the state-of-the-art concerning the modelling of energy storage in electricity systems. This webinar begins with a discussion of the range of services that energy storage can provide to an electricity system. Next, there will be an overview of the classes of models that can be used for studying interactions between energy storage and electricity systems, as well as examples of what applications and modelling approaches might be of particular importance to different stakeholders who are concerned with energy storage. Finally, this module will survey the state-of-the-art in energy-storage modelling. This will include examples of how modelling choices can influence the outcomes of a modelling exercise, limitations of existing models, and where model development, advancement, and research should be focused.

Presenter bio:
Ramteen is a professor in Department of Engineering and Public Policy and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, director of Carnegie Mellon Electricity Industry Center, and a faculty affiliate of Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation at Carnegie Mellon University and an adjunct professor in Department of Integrated Systems Engineering at The Ohio State University. His research focuses on the techno-economics of decarbonizing energy systems. He works also in energy policy and electricity-market design, especially as they pertain to energy decarbonization. He is an IEEE Fellow and served three two-year terms on Electricity Advisory Committee, a federal advisory committee to the U.S. energy secretary, and chaired its Energy Storage (Technologies) Subcommittee.
