 Bio: Mohamed Kamaludeen is a Project Manager with more than 10 years of professional service in the electric power industry. His experience spans the breadth and depth of the electric system planning process including Engineering and Design, Forecasting, Sub-station Planning and Energy Storage. He leads the integration of Utility Scale battery systems into the distribution architecture and develops new business models to optimize benefits to the grid and customers. His portfolio of projects advances the utility’s stake in integrating energy storage to achieve New York State Clean Energy goals and the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) objectives. His professional and personal background affords him the technical and policy tools necessary for making a more resilient and resourceful grid.

Mohamed graduated from Clarkson University with a bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering and later earned two master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Economics from the City College of New York. He is pursuing a PhD in Electrical Engineering.

Abstract: Through a series of bold goals that further the State’s policy vision, the Company is at the leading edge of industry change. Through actions begun under the Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) initiative, the Company has significantly increased the amount of distributed energy resources (DER) installed on the system, effectively integrated DER into its planning processes, and is steadily building the capabilities for a distributed system platform (DSP) that supports a more dynamic and complex system. Consolidated Edison Company of New York (CECONY) is committed to supporting the CLCPA’s clean energy goals by integrating a portfolio of energy storage solutions at all levels of the power grid, from the bulk power to the distribution system, in a balanced manner that provides benefits for all customers and minimizes overall bill impacts. Mr. Kamaludeen will present the company's efforts to implement more storage projects where cost-effective, resulting in benefits including better peak load management in constrained areas, more efficient and resilient operations, increased hosting capacity of distribution circuits, and greater operational flexibility to integrate the influx of intermittent resources on the system.
