Overview
Personal Profile
Michael Blonsky's research combines modeling, control, and forecasting of end-use loads, including electric vehicles, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning equipment, water heaters, and other distributed energy resources (DERs). He leads research that investigates demand flexibility through virtual power plants (VPPs), DER management systems, retail rates, and markets, and assesses their impacts on energy affordability, customer comfort, grid reliability, and resilience. He is the lead developer for OCHRE, a residential energy modeling tool, and FLARE, a tool for VPPs and DER aggregators to characterize and enable demand flexibility.
