School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications
Dr Jenny Riesz is a post doctoral research fellow at CEEM. Her research examines high penetration renewable systems, with a particular focus on the design and operation of electricity markets. With almost ten years of experience in electricity system modelling and quantitative analysis, Jenny was previously a Senior Consultant in the Energy Strategic Advisory team at AECOM (a multinational engineering consultancy) and prior to that was the Principal of Renewable Energy and Climate Policy at ROAM Consulting (a leading provider of electricity market modelling services). In these roles Jenny has led the delivery of consulting services to a wide range of clients, including the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC), the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), transmission network service providers such as Powerlink, Western Power and Electranet, The Independent Market Operator of Western Australia (IMO WA) and the Clean Energy Council. Significant studies have included analysis of Frequency Control Ancillary Service requirements and costs with high wind penetration, examination of the market impacts of network congestion on wind farm operators and developers, and detailed analysis of the operation of the Renewable Energy Certificate market in Australia (with a particular focus on the influence of solar photovoltaics).
