Assistant Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Carleton University
Dr. Schell’s research areas include: wind power modelling and forecasting, power systems planning for negative emissions, strategic behaviour in electricity markets, renewable energy policy design, and design for adoption of adaptable, modular microgrids.
Dr. Schell’s current focus is on amplifying the share of electric power generated through renewable energy sources like wind power and overcoming the problems that the integration of these sources poses to system resource adequacy, reliability and resilience. Her models are informed by large, empirical datasets from wind power producers, electric utilities, independent system operators, numerical weather prediction models and earth systems models. She works to develop novel machine learning and optimization methods that support decision-making for the energy transition, from the community to the federal level.
