SRS RN: Sustainable Transportation Electrification for an Equitable and Resilient Society (STEERS)

美国正处于一场大规模的转型之中，电网变得更加可再生，交通变得更加电气化，这一变化将触及几乎所有人。 NSF项目的目标是确保这种改变以公平和技术上合理的方式进行，考虑到所有人的需求和福祉，最终提供一个更具弹性和公平的社会。 该项目是变革性的，汇集了来自四所大学的广泛的研究人员团队，再加上一个多元化的外部顾问小组，专注于德克萨斯州的可持续交通电气化，德克萨斯州是一个非常多样化的州，拥有自己的电网。 这些目标将通过利用该小组在确保成功所需的许多不同领域的广泛专门知识来实现。知识价值包括培养多样性和包容性文化，制定成功标准，制定必要的研究和教育议程，以及进行试点研究。 该项目的更广泛影响包括通过与政府、社区组织和商界等广泛合作伙伴的参与，帮助指导公平、可持续和有弹性的交通电气化，该项目的目的是建立一个集中的团队和相关提案，重点关注可持续、公平和有弹性的交通电气化。这是必要的，因为随着电网变得更加可再生，交通变得更加电气化，社会正在开始大规模的转型。在此建议的趋同工作是为了确保这一转变的完成，以使社会所有成员受益。具体重点是与覆盖德克萨斯州大部分地区的电网中连接的城乡系统相关的超级聚合，其结果适用于全国其他地区。该团队在许多所需领域拥有广泛的专业知识，包括电网，可再生能源发电，交通，城市研究，社区规划，社会学，风险分析，大规模计算和数据分析，人口统计和教育。研究和教育的组合将是广泛的，利用融合团队的优势，关键方面包括开发更好的建模和模拟，开发变革理论和更普遍的理论，广泛的利益相关者参与，以及以推进知识为目标的公平。该奖项的重点是普及教育，并将带来整体社会效益，因为它广泛关注电力和交通基础设施。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The US is in the midst of a massive transformation as both the electric grid becomes much more renewable and transportation becomes much more electrified, a change that will touch just about everyone. This NSF project goals are to ensure that this change is done in a way that is fair and technically sound, considering the need and well-being of all, done in a way that ultimately provides a more resilient and equitable society. The project is transformative by bringing together a broad team of researchers from four universities, coupled with a diverse group of outside advisors, to focus on sustainable transportation electrification in Texas, a state that is extremely diverse and has its own electric grid. The goals will be achieved by utilizing the team’s broad expertise in the many different areas needed to ensure success. The intellectual merits include fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion, developing criteria for success, developing the required research and education agenda, and doing pilot studies. The broader impacts of the project include helping to guide the equitable, sustainable and resilient electrification of transportation by engaging with a wide variety of partners, including government, community organizations and the business community.The purpose of this project is to develop a convergent team and associated proposal focused on the sustainable, equitable and resilient electrification of transportation. This is needed because society is beginning a massive transformation as the electric grid becomes much more renewable and as transportation becomes much more electrified. The convergent work proposed here is to ensure that this transformation is done so as to benefit all members of society. The specific focus is the supra-aggregation associated with the connected urban-rural systems in the electric grid covering most of the state of Texas, with results applicable to the rest of the country. The team has broad expertise in the many required areas including the electric grid, renewable generation, transportation, urban studies, community planning, sociology, risk analysis, large-scale computing and data analytics, demographics, and education. The portfolio of research and education will be broad, leveraging the strengths of the convergent team with key aspects including developing better modeling and simulation, developing theories of change and more generalization theories, broad stakeholder participation, and equity with the goal of advancing knowledge. The effort has a strong focus on education to all, and should result in overall societal benefit given its broad focus on the electric and transportation infrastructures.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
