This $149,525 National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Early-Concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) award to Oklahoma State University (OSU) will study fundamental issues associated with privacy and data sharing to facilitate the integration of electrified chemical processes with renewable-driven power systems. The project aims to develop novel decentralized optimization algorithms and federated machine learning techniques to enable the joint maintenance and operation of decarbonized chemical manufacturing and power infrastructure, without the need to share sensitive plant-level process data. This research directly addresses barriers to industrial decarbonization and supports the nation's net-zero emissions goals by 2050. The project also seeks to develop the next-generation workforce capable of designing and operating new, decarbonized chemical plants and energy systems.
