ISO New England is seeking to model and integrate multi-day duration energy storage resources within an energy assessment simulator to reflect their physical and operational characteristics in energy system planning and reliability assessments, addressing the challenge of incorporating long-duration storage into the grid for reliability and decarbonization goals.
Requirements
- Familiarity with power systems optimization and/or energy storage modeling.
- Proficiency in at least one of the following tools: MATLAB, Python, GAMS.
Responsibilities
- Develop a storage model that captures the physical characteristics of long-duration energy storage resources.
- Analyze how charging and discharging behavior changes under different operational objectives, implement and test models using MATLAB, Python, GAMS.
- Conduct data-driven studies to evaluate how storage integration impacts reliability and decarbonization goals.
- Communicate technical findings clearly to ISO engineers and analysts.
- Collaborate with subject matter experts in a research-focused environment.
Other
- PhD student in Operations Research, Power System Engineering, or related field.
- Strong analytical and quantitative problem-solving skills.
- Ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Relocation will be required if the successful candidate resides outside of the U.S.
- Applicants for employment are considered without regard to race, color, religion, creed, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions), gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, citizenship, national origin, age, ancestry, marital status, disability (including learning, mental, intellectual, and physical), service in the uniformed services, genetic information, or any other status protected by applicable law.
