建筑环境中I/UCRC交通和电力融合规划补助金0856042德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校；S.特拉维斯·沃勒0856064德克萨斯农工大学；Mladen Kezunovic拟建的建筑环境中的交通和电力融合中心将专注于为插电式混合动力汽车(PHEV)在建筑环境中的可管理部署和使用开发全面的分析解决方案。研究工作将由德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校(牵头机构)与德克萨斯农工大学合作开展。混合动力汽车似乎最早在2010年就可以推出，5-10年后才能大规模普及。然而，出行行为的时间方面，结合与电网接口的空间选项，引入了过多的选项，用于通过混合动力汽车整合电网、公路网和建筑环境。拟建的中心计划使用先进的系统级建模、优化和分析技术，确定这个元系统企业的耦合和动态，涉及能源、交通、消费者选择和基础设施开发。拟建的中心将为描述和管理能源、交通和建筑环境方面的不可避免的变化奠定智力基础，这些变化将随着越来越多地采用PHEV和其他跨领域的创新可持续解决方案而发生。混合动力汽车的广泛应用将对许多行业产生影响，包括电力公用事业、汽车、制造、交通规划、空气质量管理和建筑环境建设。行业参与将为有才华的工程师和科学家提供通向行业的渠道，从而增强学生的教育体验。该中心计划吸引具有高度跨学科兴趣和培训的不同研究人员和学生群体。

Planning Grant for an I/UCRC for Transportation and Electricity Convergence in the Built Environment 0856042 University of Texas at Austin; S. Travis Waller 0856064 Texas A &M University; Mladen Kezunovic The proposed Center for Transportation and Electricity Convergence in the Built Environment will focus on developing comprehensive analytical solutions for managed deployment and use of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) in the Built Environment. The research efforts will be anchored by the University of Texas at Austin (lead institution) partnered with Texas A&M University. The introduction of PHEVs appears ievitable as early as 2010 with large scale penetration 5-10 years away. However, the temporal aspect of travel behavior, combined with spatial options for interfacing with the electricity grid, introduces a plethora of options for integrating the electric grid, roadway network, and the built environment through PHEVs. The proposed Center plans to identify the couplings and the dynamics of this meta-system enterprise, involving energy, transportation, consumer choice, and infrastructure development using advanced system-level modeling, optimization, and analysis techniques. The proposed Center will lay the intellectual groundwork for characterizing and managing the inevitable changes in energy, transportation, and the built environment that will occur with increased adoption of PHEVs and other cross-cutting innovative sustainable solutions. Widespread deployment of PHEVs will have effects on numerous industries including electric utilities, automotive, manufacturing, transportation planning, air quality management, and construction of the built environment. The industry participation will enhance the students' educational experience by providing a pipeline for talented engineers and scientist to industry. The Center plans to attract a diverse group of researchers and students with highly interdisciplinary interests and training.
