Ninad Kumthekar is a mechanical engineer and analyst with over 10 years’ experience in the energy industry. He specializes in the modeling and analysis of power systems and has a firm understanding of the technical and economic fundamentals of power markets, renewable markets, power generation, and transmission.
At TCR, Ninad has played a leading role in TCRs consulting engagements, serving as the project manager and lead analyst in various asset valuation and market operation projects including the evaluation of clean energy and offshore wind proposals TCR has prepared for Rhode Island and Massachusetts. He was involved in the development of modeling assumptions, evaluation metrics, bid reviews, reports and presentations, and providing regulatory support. He has also served as an analyst on TCR’s other consulting and litigation projects, including market operation and asset valuation projects in New York, as well as developing projections and analyzing market prices and marginal emission rates (MER) across multiple power markets (ISOs and balancing areas) across North America. These engagements also involved the development of input assumptions and modeling methods for various modeling scenarios and sensitivities.
Prior to TCR, he worked as a project engineer with the UK based engineering consulting firm, Mott MacDonald, with their power generation team in Abu Dhabi. In that role he was a part of project teams delivering technical advisory, engineering consultancy and design services to developers, regulatory bodies, lenders and electric utilities in the Middle East.
Ninad is proficient at developing simulation models and analyzing results from capacity expansion and production cost models using ENELYTIX. In his prior work, he has modeled complex thermal cogeneration systems, undertaken design reviews, feasibility studies and assisted in the development and evaluation of technical bids. He is experienced in developing spreadsheet-based calculation models for load forecasting, fuel demand modeling, system optimization, and project lifecycle cost analysis. He is conversant in VBA and python and uses them to undertake more complex data manipulation and statistical analysis tasks.
Ninad is a food enthusiast, hobby crafter and LEGO collector, and loves spending his free time playing and producing music.
