<h4>Automating validation of plant equipment locations</h4>
<p>I recently worked with Will Hobbs of Southern Company to develop a method for testing whether a plant contained mislabeled equipment (in this case combiners). We compared a few of the predictions on the real plant and at least for that small test, the method was 100% successful. <a href="preprints/Ranalli2024JPV.pdf">Read Full Article</a></p>

<h4>Optimizing Renewables in Philadelphia</h4>
<p>A recent publication (accepted in Applied Energy) deals with the optimal mix of distributed solar and wind generation to reduce required energy storage in the Philadelphia area. Using <a href="https://github.com/FlexiGIS/FlexiGIS">FlexiGIS</a>, we found that the optimum is an even 50%/50% mix of wind and solar. A variety of methods could also be considered to reduce storage at higher renewable penetration levels. <a href="preprints/Ranalli2020AE.pdf">Read Full Article</a></p>

<h4>Sabbatical in Oldenburg</h4>
<p>I spent six months of 2019 living in Oldenburg, Germany, where I worked as a visiting scientist with DLR and the University of Oldenburg. In my time there I developed skills with solar irradiance forecasting, and worked with all-sky imager data to develop a spatially resolved forecast of irradiance. Stay tuned for more results from this work! <a href="research.html">Read More</a></p>

<h4>Recreating solar irradiance time series</h4>
<p>One of my key sabbatical projects was improving upon existing models that predict how a solar irradiance time series is smoothed due to aggregation by a large plant. Surprisingly, my combustion expertise was able to come into play, helping me make a better model for solar energy. I have recent results from this work in two recent conference publications and a journal article. <a href="research.html">Read More</a></p>
