Power Sector Model Development (Summer Research Intern)

Power Sector Model Development. Working with Aaron Bergman (Fellow) and McKenna Peplinski (Senior Research Associate II), the intern will support the RFF modeling team that contributes to the Engineering, Economic, and Environmental Electricity Simulation Tool (E4ST), an open-platform power sector model that simulates impacts of environmental and energy policies on the electricity or power sector. The intern will help develop new capabilities, improve policy representations, and increase model flexibility and configurability.

If time, the intern may also contribute to a policy analysis studying how demand growth from electrification trends and data centers could impact the power sector. *Open to both undergraduate and graduate students.*
