The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant totaling $224,642 to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to support the "EPSCOR RESEARCH FELLOWS: NSF: LUNAR POWER SYSTEM DIGITAL TWINNING FOR SURFACE EXPLORATION ADVANCEMENT" project under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083). This project involves creating high-fidelity digital twin models of space-specific power generation sources, loads, communication, and control systems in collaboration with NASA Glenn Research Center. The goal is to advance the development of reliable, autonomous, and resilient power systems tailored for Artemis lunar exploration missions. Key outcomes include a scalable lunar power system with a digital twin for future studies, advancements in lunar microgrid design, and improved earth-space communication capabilities. The project will also contribute to broader impacts in digital twinning for large-scale power systems and emergency response. No subawards are planned under this grant, which has an award period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026.
