Ancillary services are essential for keeping the power grid stable, but the details can be complex. In episode 2 of Frequency Band, Paul Dockery & Becky Robinson join experts Emma Nicholson, Energy Economist, and Robin Hytowitz, Program Lead at EPRI, to explain it all. ⚡️🎙️ ow.ly/83Ye50Z2mhl

I think wonky discussions of electricity market design can be fun and entertaining. If you agree, you’re the target audience of CAISO’s new podcast.

Ari Peskoe and Fred Stafford using Simpson memes on #energysky to argue about utility business models after a David Roberts episode of Volts. I’m so happy.

We're just waiting for the funding to do this! Anyone want to chip in a grant or gift, DM me. Seriously. 2025 could be the year for this. We need a GUI + a cloud based solver implementation and we can make GenX+Sienna & PyPSA easy for all to use and access. Both are already best in class models.

Hey #EnergySky. Even if you don't see yourself as a justice-focused energy researcher, probably worth following folks who are. 🔌💡

11yr old and 9yr old joined me while I was doing homework last night and 11 yr old started making up math problems for 9 yr old to solve on my whiteboard. Made my heart glow. Maybe mid-life crisis return to school is paying off.

“A complex system usually has numerous balancing feedback loops it can bring into play, so it can self-correct. One of the big mistakes we make is to strip away these mechanisms. [A heartbreaking way we do this] is encroaching on our time for rest, recreation, socialization, and meditation.”

“Using accumulated wealth, privilege, special access, or inside information to creat more wealth, privilege, or access are examples of ‘success to the successful.’ “The trap of success to the successful does its greatest damage in the many ways it works to make the rich richer and poor poorer.”

I’m on the “System Traps” section of Donella Meadows’ “Thinking in Systems” where she reviews policy resistance, drift to low performance, and escalation. Folks, I think our systems are broken and we’re caught in system traps. 🔥🫠

“When there are long delays in feedback loops, some sort of foresight is essential. To act only when a problem becomes obvious is to miss an important opportunity to solve the problem.” - Donella H. Meadows, “Thinking in Systems: a primer”

My paper on long-run pricing in markets with non-convexities won the 2024 INFORMS Best Paper in Energy Award. connect.informs.org/energy-natur... If you've ever heard about "fast-start pricing," "uplift payments," or "make-whole payments," you've heard about non-convex pricing. (1/2)

In personal news, I am on my way to England to start Oxford’s MSc in Energy Systems on Monday. The first session is on thermodynamics and I assume I’ll be learning about the magic of heat pumps from the ghost of J.R.R. Tolkien. Otherwise, I’m totally unprepared.
