Biography
Professor John Jiang received his Ph.D. and Master of
Science degrees in the Power Economics and Energy Finance area from the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University
of Texas at Austin in December 2005 and December 1998
respectively. Power Economics and Energy Finance is an interdisciplinary field
of Energy Systems, Finance and Economics. Dr. Jiang also obtained a Master of
Engineering degree from the Institute
of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy
of Sciences, and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the Department of
Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua
University, Beijing, China, both in honors.
Before joining the University
of Oklahoma, Dr. Jiang worked for
Providian Financial Corporation in San
Francisco, CA, as the
director since 2003, where he was responsible for quantitative analysis,
security pricing, real-time trading strategy and economic research for a $3
billion investment portfolio and corporate asset-liability management.
Previously, he was a consultant on various market design and operation issues
at ERCOT. ERCOT operates the power grid and electricity spot market of the
State of Texas, which is one of the largest
independent power systems in North America. Prior to that, for nearly two years, he
worked for the Market Oversight Division of the Public Utility Commission of
Texas on market design and monitoring. He has over three years of experience in
risk management at power and utility companies. Dr. Jiang also worked in the
Renewable Energy Group in the alternative energy and power control areas when
he was a graduate student at the Institute
of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy
of Sciences in Beijing.
Dr. Jiang has been involved in renewable energy
related research since 1988, when he led a student research group for 4 years
which conducted research, design and integration of a stand-alone wind
generation system. The group won prizes for the mechanical, aerodynamic and
system designs in the National Science and Technology Competition of College
Students. He also won the President Prize of Chinese Academy
of Sciences for graduate students for his master thesis research, “Vector
Control of Reactive Power of Doubly Fed Variable Speed Constant Frequency
Generation System”. He has been working with OGE Corporation, ERCOT, Siemens
Corporate Research, USA,
and Power Costs, Inc., to address the impact of variable renewable and
distributed generation systems on power system reliability.
Dr. Jiang’s current research interests are in
understanding, measuring, and evaluating the risk impact of renewable and
distributed generation on power system operation, reliability and power
markets.
