Vladimir Koritarov is the Manager of the CEESA Power Systems group in Argonne National Laboratory’s Energy Systems division. The group provides analytical services on strategic energy and environmental issues to government agencies, international organizations, and private institutions around the world. He is also a Senior Fellow at the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute at Chicago (EPIC). Koritarov has over 30 years of experience in the analysis and modeling of electric and energy systems in domestic and international applications. Currently, he serves as Argonne’s Program Manager for Water Power Program, which includes hydropower and marine and hydrokinetic technologies.
Most recently, Koritarov has been working on the development of new agent-based modeling approaches for the simulation of energy and electricity markets, and applying advanced simulation methods to study the role and possible evolution of non-conventional energy resources, such as renewable generation and energy storage.
He is a principal mechanical engineer and manager of Fuels, Engine, and Aftertreatment Research at Argonne National Laboratory’s Center for Transportation Research. In this role, he and his team plan, analyze, and execute powertrain and combustion research projects in light-duty, heavy-duty, and non-road applications, including marine and UAV, and employing a range of fuels, including gasoline, diesel, hydrogen and natural gas, and alcohols. Much of the work involves close collaboration with major manufacturers in these market segments.
