BD Spokes: PLANNING: NORTHEAST: Partnerships for Energy cycle Innovation through Big Data (PPEID)

该项目是进行所需的规划，以开发大数据演讲，重点是使用大数据的能源部门创新。该项目组将汇集建筑和数据中心能源使用信息学、电网和需求管理、替代能源和未来能源以及存储方法方面的兴趣和优势。该项目的主要成果将是发展一系列伙伴关系，以利用新的和现有的数据科学方法，并在能源部门的核心需求的推动下，激发对这种方法的新研究。该项目将重点利用为南布法罗地区棕地重建提供公用事业所产生的明确界定的问题来建立这些伙伴关系，这是目前正在进行的变革性经济复苏的关键部分。发言规划活动将采取确定需求的一系列“迷你讲习班”的形式，随后将开展一系列“咨询活动”，由项目人员和合作伙伴提供支持，以解决挑战问题不同方面的需求。私营部门(公用事业公司、棕地投资者和租户)、非政府组织和学者(来自该区域6所大学)的参与将在规划工作结束时提供对能力和问题的明确了解。东北大数据中心将在建立这些合作伙伴关系方面提供必要的支持，为参与过程提供后勤支持，并在许多核心领域提供获得技能的机会，如数据共享、道德、隐私和教育。该项目将支持棕地重建，这将重振大片布法罗地区，将对纽约州北部和该地区的经济福祉产生立竿见影的影响。许多社区经常遇到这种发展所涉及的问题，从长远来看，我们的解决方案将有一大批受益者。实现这一目标所需的许多伙伴关系的成功建立，将继续在东北及其他地区能源部门的数据和信息需求方面为许多其他社区提供服务。还将有来自相关大学的学生和早期职业专业人士的大量参与。

This project is to conduct the planning needed to develop a Big Data Spoke focused on energy sector innovations using big data. The project group will bring together interests and strengths on building and data center energy usage informatics, grids and demand management and alternate and future energy sources along with storage methodologies. The primary outcomes of the project will be the development of a series of partnerships to leverage new and existing data science methodologies and inspire new research on such methodologies driven by the core needs of the energy sector. The project will focus the setup of these partnerships using the well-defined problems arising from utility provisioning for a brown-field redevelopment in the South Buffalo area that is a critical part of the transformative economic resurgence currently underway. Spoke planning activity will take the form of a series of "mini-workshops" that define the needs followed by a series of "consulting engagements" to be supported by project personnel and partners that can address needs in different aspects of the challenge problem. The engagement of private sector (utility companies, brownfield investors and tenants), non-governmental organizations and academics (from 6 universities across the region) will provide a clear understanding of capabilities and issues at the end of the planning exercise. The Northeast Big Data Hub will provide essential support in forming these partnerships, logistics for the engagement processes and providing access to the skills in many core areas like data sharing, ethics, privacy and education.The Project will support brownfield redevelopment that will revitalize large swaths of Buffalo will have an immediate impact on the economic well being of upstate New York and the region. Many communities commonly encounter the issues involved in such development and our solutions will have a large set of beneficiaries in the long term. The successful formation of the many partnerships needed to accomplish this will then go on to serve many other communities in the data and information needs of the energy sector in the North east and beyond. There will also be a large engagement of students and early career professionals from the universities involved.
