Job Description
• Collect the required data and develop fundamental methods and software tools and interfaces required to support large scale electric system capacity expansion.
• Develop the generalized frameworks to link capacity expansion models (CEM), such as GenX and ReEDS, and production cost models (PCM), such as Sienna\Ops.
• Develop automated workflows to estimate maximum power flow transfer constraints between any arbitrary set of aggregated spatial regions (or 'zones').
• Work towards automating transmission network designs to enable generation interconnections and transmission capacity augmentations consistent with results from CEMs and develop methods for automated downscaling of zonal CEM results to a nodal PCM for further reliability analysis.
