Abstract: Electrification is a key enabler of the energy transition and society-scale decarbonization; however, further electrification hinges on the ability to efficiently deliver clean electricity in a least-cost and reliable manner. Dealing with these challenges requires means for storing electricity in order to mitigate intra- and inter-day volatility of clean electricity sources (e.g. wind or solar generation), as well as changes in their seasonal availability. As such, no single storage technology has technical capabilities to deliver all needed power grid services reliably and at all timescales of interest and, therefore, a portfolio of solutions is needed. In this presentation, we will focus on both physical (batteries) and virtual storage technologies (e.g. residential and industry demand response) and discuss their participation in the provision of power grid services and electricity markets, including stochastic market designs of the future.
Bio: Yury Dvorkin is an Assistant Professor and Goddard Junior Faculty Fellow in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering and Center for Urban Science and Progress. His research work has been supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), including an 2019 NSF CAREER Award, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Transportation, Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), NYU Center for Urban Science and Progress, and NYU Center for Cybersecurity. Before joining NYU, Yury earned a B.Sc. degree from Moscow Power Engineering Institute in Moscow, Russia (2007-2011, with the highest “red” honors) and a Ph.D. degree at the University of Washington (2011-2016) under the supervision of Prof. Daniel S. Kirschen, and a graduate student researcher at the Center for Nonlinear Studies, Los Alamos National Laboratory (2014) under the supervision of Dr. Michael Chertkov and Dr. Scott Backhaus. For his dissertation work, entitled “Operations and Planning in Sustainable Power Systems”, Yury was awarded the inaugural 2016 Scientific Achievement Award by Clean Energy Institute (University of Washington). In 2020, Dvorkin was also awarded a Goddard Junior Faculty Award at NYU.
