Computational Scientist
Shell
1 2018 - Current
- Led the development of NEMO (New Energies Modelling & Optimisation), a standardized & modularized modeling toolkit for calculating optimal design of renewable assets to achieve the decarbonization of energy demand (power, H2 & heat)
- Deployed for techno-economic modeling of new energy systems for industrial sector by calculating the optimum size of renewable asset by incorporating energy demand, weather profile, technology disruption, unit capital costs and other market uncertainties
- The technology blocks are based on the physics-based models which convert raw weather data into power output and calculates degradation over time.
