I am Pavitra Senthamil Sengalani. I joined WVU in Spring 2020 as a graduate student in the Department of Chemical Engineering working under the mentorship of Dr. Debangsu Bhattacharya. I had been working on the Modelling and Simulation on Energy Storage Technologies such as the Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) & Hydrogen Energy Storage (HES). I am also involved in the reduced order model development for fossil fueled power plants. My hobbies include reading non-fiction, playing badminton.

Reduced Order Modeling and Techno-Economic Analysis of Hydrogen and Mechanical Energy Storage Systems
My research interests focus on the increasing significance of renewable energy sources with its impactful thrust on the nominal load cycling of fossil-fueled power plants (FFPP). I had focused on the development of first principles model for the energy storage facilities such as the compressed air energy storage (CAES) and Hydrogen energy storage. My interest lies upon the integration of energy storage facilities with the FFPPs to minimize the levelized cost of electricity during high demand scenarios and also minimize the negative impacts of off-design FFPP operation. Currently, I am involved in Reduced Order Modelling of FFPPs such as the Natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) and Supercritical Pulverized coal plants for optimization framework to obtain various optimal system concepts.
