This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will establish a new framework for digital twin modeling of urban energy delivery strategies. Through this $269,164 award to Purdue University, the project will develop a three-sided market modeling framework to understand and optimize the dynamics within electric mobility markets, create a scalable digital twin environment for comprehensive analysis and decision-making, and produce an energy delivery playbook with guidelines and best practices. The research aims to address fundamental challenges in integrating electric mobility into urban infrastructure, enhance urban energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support the integration of renewable energy sources. By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, the project will contribute to the advancement of science and technology in urban energy systems while also providing students with hands-on experience and exposure to interdisciplinary topics in energy and mobility. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027.
