DESCRIPTION:Date: November 21st\, 2024 | Time: 5:00pm (EST) | Free Event\n
 \nLocation: Macdonald Engineering Building Rm: 267\n\nESMIA is a leader in
  3E system modeling\, supporting strategic decision-making across North Am
 erica and globally. With over 20 years of experience\, our multidisciplina
 ry team develops and applies advanced system models to address complex cha
 llenges\, such as energy security and energy transition. This presentation
  will showcase the comprehensive capabilities of ESMIA’s models\, highligh
 ting insights derived for decision-making through recent projects. Key exa
 mples include:\n\n\n	Energy-electricity system model: Provides detailed\, m
 ulti-level system analyses\, identifying optimal roles for emerging techno
 logies considering competition for clean resources and providing cost-effe
 ctive strategies for capacity expansion. It also supports short-term power
  sector planning by accounting for hourly dispatch\, ensuring supply resil
 iency amid demand and supply variability.\n	Energy rates model: Evaluates i
 mpacts energy transition on stakeholders\, quantifying cost effects on uti
 lities and consumer tariffs. It also projects future energy bills to analy
 ze energy affordability and assess subsidies to mitigate energy poverty.\n
 	Macroeconomic model: Assesses the macroeconomic impacts of energy policies
 \, providing insights into economic growth\, job markets\, and welfare\, e
 ssential for gauging economies' readiness for energy transition.\n\n\nThe 
 presentation will conclude with region- and sector-specific project exampl
 es.\n\nThis TISEDTalk is in partnership with McISCE\n\n\n\n\nKathleen Vail
 lancourt – President\, ESMIA\n\nKathleen is a professional entrepreneur wi
 th 20 years of experience in 3E (energy-economy-environment) system modell
 ing and consulting. President and founder of ESMIA\, she is the main insti
 gator of the North American TIMES Energy Model (NATEM) a crucial tool for 
 many decision-makers throughout North America. She leads projects that dev
 elop and apply energy system models for supporting governments\, utilities
 \, consultants and private companies globally\, in tackling complex energy
  challenges.\n\nAs a globally recognized expert in energy system optimizat
 ion\, she represents Canada at the ETSAP Technology Collaboration Program 
 (TCP) of the International Energy Agency (IEA). In Canada\, she serves on 
 the board of the Energy Modelling Hub (EMH)\, a federal government-funded 
 initiative to establish a pan-Canadian open-source electricity modelling p
 latform\n
