The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) applies cutting-edge technology to operating a reliable electricity system, managing competitive markets for wholesale electricity, and planning for the Empire State's energy future. The NYISO takes pride in recruiting, developing and retaining highly talented individuals. Our summer internship programs give young professionals the opportunity to gain a fundamental understanding of New York electricity markets, bulk electricity systems and how we plan for New York State’s energy future.

Position Summary:

The Research & Engineering (R&E) team is enhancing Resource Adequacy models to reflect the evolving energy landscape. This project aims to evaluate and integrate alternative modeling techniques for intermittent resources and energy-limited resources (ELRs) into the GE-MARS Resource Adequacy framework.

Responsibilities:

  • Work closely with the R&E team to understand current modeling approaches for intermittent and energy-limited resources in the GE-MARS framework.
  • Research, evaluate, and implement alternative modeling techniques for these resource types.
  • Analyze results and provide recommendations for improving reliability assessments.

Qualifications:

  • Master’s or Ph.D. in Applied Statistics, Operations Research, Energy Economics, or Electrical Engineering preferred.
  • Strong foundation in probabilistic modeling and statistical analysis.
  • Familiarity with Resource Adequacy concepts and reliability metrics (e.g., LOLE, EUE) is desired.
  • Proficiency in data analysis and simulation tools (Python, R, MATLAB).
  • Experience with FORTRAN programming language is a plus.

At the NYISO, we realize the importance of balancing the availability of remote work with the inherent value of bringing people together to attain success in the areas of maximum collaboration, relationship building and growth, teamwork, innovation and problem solving, as well as professional development and mentoring. In this role, you will be required to work onsite from our Rensselaer, NY location several days per workweek, with the option to work remotely on the remaining days.

All offers of employment will be made contingent upon the successful completion of a drug screening and background check.
