DESCRIPTION:Yury Dvorkin (Assistant Professor at NYU\, Tandon School of En
 gineering\, USA)\nAbstract: Electrification is a key enabler of the ener
 gy transition and society-scale decarbonization\; however\, further elec
 trification hinges on the ability to efficiently deliver clean electrici
 ty in a least-cost and reliable manner.  Dealing with these challenges r
 equires means for storing electricity in order to mitigate intra- and inte
 r-day volatility of clean electricity sources (e.g. wind or solar generati
 on)\, as well as changes in their seasonal availability.  As such\, no s
 ingle storage technology has technical capabilities to deliver all needed 
 power grid services  reliably and at all timescales of interest and\, th
 erefore\, a portfolio of solutions is needed. In this presentation\, we wi
 ll focus on both physical (batteries) and virtual storage technologies (e.
 g. residential and industry demand response) and discuss their participati
 on in the provision of power grid services and electricity markets\, inclu
 ding stochastic market designs of the future.\n\nBio: Yury Dvorkin is an A
 ssistant Professor and Goddard Junior Faculty Fellow in the Department of 
 Electrical and Computer Engineering at New York University’s Tandon Scho
 ol of Engineering and Center for Urban Science and Progress. His research 
 work has been supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)\, in
 cluding an 2019 NSF CAREER Award\, U.S. Department of Energy\, U.S. Depart
 ment of Transportation\, Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy\, Alfr
 ed P. Sloan Foundation\, and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)\, NY
 U Center for Urban Science and Progress\, and NYU Center for Cybersecurity
 . Before joining NYU\, Yury earned a B.Sc. degree from Moscow Power Engine
 ering Institute in Moscow\, Russia (2007-2011\, with the highest “red”
  honors) and a Ph.D. degree at the University of Washington (2011-2016) un
 der the supervision of Prof. Daniel S. Kirschen\, and a graduate student r
 esearcher at the Center for Nonlinear Studies\, Los Alamos National Labora
 tory (2014) under the supervision of Dr. Michael Chertkov and Dr. Scott Ba
 ckhaus. For his dissertation work\, entitled “Operations and Planning in
  Sustainable Power Systems”\, Yury was awarded the inaugural 2016 Scient
 ific Achievement Award by Clean Energy Institute (University of Washington
 ). In  2020\, Dvorkin was also awarded a Goddard Junior Faculty Award at
  NYU.
