Duncan Callaway - Demand-Side Modeling, Estimation and Control in Electric Power Systems

Speaker/Performer: Duncan Callaway, Assistant Professor, ERG, UC Berkeley

Sponsor: CITRIS (Ctr for Info Technology Research in the Interest of Society)

Duncan Callaway joined the Energy and Resources Group as an assistant professor in the Fall of 2009, and he also holds a courtesy appointment in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley.

Dr. Callaway's research can be categorized in three areas: modeling and control of aggregated storage devices; power management; and system analysis of energy technologies and their impact. His research involves the use of a variety of methods, including stochastic modeling, system identification, dynamics and control, and spatial analysis. In general, his work focuses on improving energy efficiency and renewable resource utilization through novel energy system configuration and control strategies. Some of the specific application areas he works on include wind energy, demand response and load control, and plug-in electric vehicles.
