Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVenkat Durvasulu is a Power Market Research Engineer with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and eight years of experience applying data analysis and machine learning to deregulated electricity markets. He combines deep domain expertise in optimal power flow, unit commitment, and demand-response-as-a-service with strong programming skills in MATLAB, Python, and SQL to build large-scale simulation models for economic and emissions studies. At national labs and ISOs he has turned raw market and generator-offer data into realistic test-case models and actionable market insights that improve operational and economic outcomes. His work spans PLEXOS-based renewable systems modeling, bulk-power market analysis, and evaluating distributed market designs for high-renewable futures. Based in Idaho Falls, he brings a researcher’s rigor to practical problems, having moved from field engineering and mainframe software early in his career to influence policy-relevant modeling at national labs. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate granular market offer and thermal-efficiency data into test-case generators that produce realistic marginal prices and emissions.
