Dr. Moraski is an expert in electric system reliability and planning, applying modeling and market analysis to inform reliable, cost-effective decarbonization strategies.
Her work focuses on using modeling tools to assess the reliability, affordability, and efficiency trade-offs of investment and policy decisions in a rapidly evolving energy sector. Dr. Moraski examines how electricity markets, planning frameworks, and regulatory structures can evolve to better evaluate reliability needs and appropriately value solutions amid growing system uncertainty and weather-related risks. She has worked with system operators, utilities, regulators, and policy organizations on projects addressing deep decarbonization pathways, market reforms under high renewable penetration, and the value of clean-firm technologies, multi-sectoral investments, and demand-side flexibility in long-term reliability planning.
Bridging technical modeling and policy design, Dr. Moraski brings a systems perspective to the complex interactions among markets, regulation, and technology. Her analyses inform strategies for capacity procurement, market design, and infrastructure investment that ensure reliability-focused planning and decarbonization efforts are both technically sound and economically robust.
