About Sayan Roy

As an Electrical Engineer and Resource Planner, I apply my expertise in power systems and energy markets to provide strategic and analytical solutions to clients in the electric utility industry. I have a Master\'s Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Arizona State University, and over four years of professional experience in transmission planning, integrated resource planning, and market modeling.I have successfully performed complex studies on transmission congestion, contingency analysis, tariff recovery, and renewable integration using PLEXOS and other tools. I have also contributed to the development and implementation of integrated resource plans for various utilities and regions, considering the economic, environmental, and regulatory factors. My goal is to help clients optimize their energy portfolios, mitigate risks, and achieve their sustainability objectives.

Experience

1. Planning Engineer

   Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO)

   Apr 2024 — Present

   Led the development of MISO’s Long-Term Capacity Expansion Futures studies utilizing PLEXOS LT Plan, modeling multi-decade resource portfolios under varying Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), decarbonization pathways, and load growth assumptions.• Designed and implemented a structured validation framework to evaluate capacity expansion outputs, including firm capacity accreditation, buildout logic, reserve margin compliance, and economic signals.• Supported and enhanced the Resource Adeacy integration process, aligning capacity expansion outputs with seasonal Planning Reserve Margin requirements and accreditation methodologies.• Conducted advanced sensitivity analyses in response to stakeholder feedback, analyzing shadow prices, binding constraints, marginal capacity value trends, and policy-driven build signals.• Integrated new generator constraints and evolving policy assumptions into the modeling framework, ensuring robust and defensible future scenarios.• Currently developing enhanced long-term chronology sampling methodologies to improve temporal representativeness and resource accreditation accuracy in multi-decade simulations.
