Workshop: Towards Carbon-neutral Electricity and Mobility: The Infrastructure Challenges and Opportunities; Houston, Texas; 28 February - 1 March 2022

该奖项将支持一个研讨会，该研讨会汇集了一群具有互补背景的领先专家(在电力和能源、交通、人工智能/机器学习等领域)。在不同的研究领域之间架起桥梁，从而形成电力和移动部门碳中性过渡的研究范式。具体地说，这次研讨会旨在通过确定支持雄心勃勃的碳中性过渡所需的共同基础网络基础设施的研究议程来弥合这一差距。许多关键的研究问题，如如何规划高速公路和输电网沿线的电动汽车充电基础设施，将从电力和交通网络的共享数据/模型中受益匪浅。这次研讨会产生的讨论和一致的研究想法将对数据驱动的工程系统的研究和教育朝着可持续发展产生重大影响。该项目由土木工程、机械和制造业创新部(CMMI)和工程局助理署长办公室(OAD)联合资助。工作坊将讨论促进电力和运输行业碳中性过渡所需的网络基础设施方面的关键问题。感兴趣的主题包括(1)电动汽车耦合的电力和运输系统的联合建模；(2)基于人工智能/机器学习的方法的数据集和算法，以加速电力和机动性的碳中和过渡；(3)碳中和过渡期间公平和正义研究的建模和数据集；以及(4)在国家科学基金协同活动中建设跨域网络基础设施的经验和见解。这些主题将讨论NSF十大想法中的两个：“利用数据革命”和“不断增长的融合研究”。研讨会还将通过讨论技术转让和创业的潜在想法，为学术界和产业界之间的合作研究创造机会。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will support a workshop that brings together a group of leading experts with complementary backgrounds (in the area of power and energy, transportation, artificial intelligence/machine learning etc.) to build bridges between various research areas and thereby shape the research paradigm for a carbon-neutral transition in the electricity and mobility sectors. Specifically, this workshop aims to bridge the gap by identifying a research agenda for the common underlying cyber infrastructure needs to support the ambitious carbon-neutral transition. Many of the key research questions, such as how to plan for electric vehicle charging infrastructure along the highways and electric transmission grids, would tremendously benefit from shared data/models across power and transportation networks. The discussions and convergent research ideas engendered by this workshop will have significant impacts on the research and education of data-driven engineering systems towards sustainability. The project is jointly funded by the Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) Division and the Office of the Assistant Director (OAD) in the Directorate for Engineering.The workshop will address key questions in cyber infrastructure needs to facilitate the carbon-neutral transition of electricity and transportation sectors. Topics of interest include (1) joint modeling of power and transportation systems coupled by electric vehicles; (2) data sets and algorithms for artificial intelligence/machine learning-based approaches to accelerate the carbon-neutral transition in electricity and mobility; (3) modeling and data sets for equity and justice research during the carbon-neutral transition; and (4) experience and insights from building cross-domain cyber infrastructure in synergistic NSF activities. These topics will address two of NSF's 10 big ideas: "Harnessing the Data Revolution" and "Growing Convergence Research". The workshop will also generate opportunities for collaborative research between academia and industry through discussing potential ideas for technology transfer and entrepreneurship.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.
