Dr. Wang studies optimization of energy infrastructure in NSF funded project

 

Optimizing energy and transportation infrastructures
The project "21st Century national energy and transportation infrastructures: Balancing sustainability, costs, and resiliency (NETSCORE-21)"  will be led by James McCalley of Iowa State University (ISU) in collaboration with four colleagues from ISU: Dionysios Aliprantis, Konstantina Gkritza, Arun Somani, and Lizhi Wang.

The project aims to formulate optimal energy and transportation infrastructure designs in terms of future power generation technologies, energy transport and storage, and hybrid-electric transportation systems, while balancing sustainability, costs, and resiliency. The research will also identify and describe interdependencies between the energy/vehicular transportation systems and the energy resource portfolio. Outcomes of this research may contribute to a national blueprint that will drive energy policy, research, and investment for the next four decades.
