Charge Study, MISO Energy
Storage Study, Ontario
Energy Storage Study, and
numerous other energy
storage studies. He was
selected by the World Bank
to study 100% carbon-free
grids with energy storage
and Acelerex software and
methods were selected by
the International
Renewable Energy Agency
for increasing penetration
of renewables with energy
storage. Dr. Johnson has
invented and developed
software for battery
analytics and battery real
time control. He is expert
at power markets and
valuation of energy
storage to maximize
utilization of existing
transmission systems and
co-optimization of
transmission and other
resources in addition of
co-optimization of energy
and ancillary services. A
Harvard Business Case has
been written for energy
storage that includes
methods pioneered by Dr.
Johnson. Dr. Johnson holds
a Ph.D. in Power
Engineering from
Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute and an MS in
Economics from Cass
Business School, UK, and a
Utility Corporate Finance
Certificate for Gas and
Electric Utilities from
UConn Business School. Dr.
Johnson has background in
strategy, regulatory
finance, economic
optimizations,
quantitative finance,
