Description
Dr. Whitney G. Colella, Engineering Ph.D., M.B.A., spearheads computer simulation, testing, and independent analysis of novel energy systems to improve their thermodynamics, economics, and environmental performance. Dr. Colella holds both engineering and economic expertise in fuel cells; electrolyzers; fuel cell vehicles; stationary fuel cell systems; electrochemical compressors and separators; hydrogen energy systems; energy storage; combined heat and power systems; combined cooling, heating, and electric power systems; systems for co-producing fuels and electricity; polygenerative electrochemical systems; district heating and cooling networks; and renewable energy systems. Dr. Colella has extensively analyzed these systems in the context of the energy demands of the buildings and transportation networks that they may supply. Dr. Colella also holds expertise in energy market economics, including the privatization of electricity grids and balancing and arbitrage electricity markets.
