Alex Rudkevich is a mathematician and economist with expertise in modeling power markets, design of power markets, and optimization of power systems and natural gas supply. He has over 30 years’ experience providing consulting, research and expert testimony on the design and operation of power systems. His consulting includes valuation of generation and transmission assets; price forecasting and development of forward curves; market design; evaluation of alternative market designs for electric energy, capacity, ancillary services, assessments of financial transmission rights and marginal losses; and analyses of market power and mitigation measures.
Dr. Rudkevich is also President of Newton Energy Group (NEG), a research affiliate of TCR. At NEG he developed ENELYTIX™*, a cloud-based environment for modeling power markets. TCR has used Enelytix to prepare valuations of existing and proposed generation and transmission assets and to analyze power market designs throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Currently Dr. Rudkevich is leading a multi-disciplinary team on a major ARPA-E funded project to develop market designs and algorithms for co-optimization of wholesale natural gas and electric markets. Other representative projects include development of an advanced method of topology control for the electric grid, technical direction of economic analysis for the Eastern Interconnection Planning Collaborative, cost-benefit analysis of the implementation of a nodal market design for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, and analysis of congestion for the Department of Energy’s first National Electric Transmission Congestion Study.
Prior to co-founding NEG and TCR, Dr. Rudkevich was a Vice President at Charles River Associates in its Energy & Environment practice. Previously he has served in senior consulting positions with Tabors Caramanis & Associates, Tellus Institute, Cambridge Energy Research Associates, and the Energy Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow.
