EUF Staff - Chris Marnay
Chris Marnay has worked for 24 years at Berkeley Lab, where he leads the Forecasting group within the Environmental Energy Technologies Division. He models restructured electricity markets, especially related to problems concerning likely future adoption patterns of small-scale distributed energy resources (DER). He was a member of the Consortium of Electric Reliability Solutions (CERTS) that proposed the CERTS Microgrid concept. His team has since developed methods for the economic evaluation of microgrids. Work on DER has led to development of the DER Customer Adoption Model which finds optimum technology neutral combinations of equipment and operating schedules, given prevailing economic circumstances and available equipment descriptions. His other responsibilities primarily involve maintaining and enhancing the latest version of the Energy Information Administration's National Energy Modeling System (NEMS), which is used for most national level energy policy analysis. Current work in progress includes the development of a national scale commercial and residential building energy demand and supply module for NEMS, and also a buildings module for the Stochastic Energy Deployment System (SEDS), all under development by the U.S. Department of Energy. He has an A.B. in Development Studies, an M.S. in Agricultural and Resource Economics, and a Ph.D. in Energy and Resources, all from the University of California, Berkeley. He has also studied at the London School of Economics and the University of Hawaii, and has worked at the University of Texas at Austin. In 2006 he was a visiting professor at The University of Kitakyushu, Japan under a grant from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
