The Center for Urban Science + Progress (CUSP) at NYU Tandon welcomes you to attend a the lecture "Assessing the impact of demand side interventions & their coordination with supply-side strategies in enabling energy systems decarbonization" by Dharik Mallapragada, assistant professor in the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at NYU Tandon, as part of the Fall 2024 CUSP Research Seminar Series.
Lecture Title
Assessing the impact of demand side interventions & their coordination with supply-side strategies in enabling energy systems decarbonization
About the Lecture
Regional & national energy system decarbonization efforts emphasize decarbonizing the power grid by expanding variable renewable electricity generation & increasing end-use electrification. Both strategies will increase the spatial & temporal variability in electricity supply & demand, necessitating technological & policy interventions to achieve a reliable & cost-effective energy system. In this talk, Prof. Dharik Mallapragada will discuss how advanced energy system modeling frameworks can be utilized to assess the system-level impact of demand side interventions, which can be used to inform technology & policy development. The discussion will center around three case studies: a) electrification of building heating & its energy system impacts in the U.S. New England region, b) growing demand for air conditioning & implications for grid planning in India, & c) efficacy of alternative clean electricity procurement strategies by individual end-users to reduce emissions.
About the Speaker
Dharik S. Mallapragada is an assistant professor in the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering department at New York University (NYU), where he leads the Sustainable Energy Transitions (SET) Group. Prof. Mallapragada's research focuses on planning & operating resilient, low-carbon energy systems as well as conceptualization, design & assessment of emerging energy technologies & enabling policies. He co-leads systems thrust activities at the Center for Decarbonizing Chemical Manufacturing using Sustainable electrification (DC-MUSE), led by NYU. Mallapragada recently served as a member of the Massachusetts State Commission on Clean Heat that developed recommendations for the state related to pathways for decarbonizing the buildings sector. Prior to NYU, Prof. Mallapragada was a researcher at the MIT Energy Initiative where he kick-started his academic research career, after spending nearly 5 years working in the energy industry working on a range of sustainability-focused research topics. Prof. Mallapragada holds a M.S. & Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University & a B.Tech. in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India.
