Routing and Infrastructure simulation for Shared Electric vehicles (RISE)

FERIS is an agent-based model that simulates the activity of a fleet of electric taxis in a metropolitan area. Agent activities include serving trips, rebalancing to anticipate future demand, and relocating to charge. The modeling framework allows researchers to study the impact of different routing algorithms, battery range, and charging infrastructure on fleet performance, energy consumption, environmental impact, and cost of service.

Data Science Infrastructure SOFTWARE

LANL science workflows generate complex data sets and ensembles of data requiring significant compute and storage resources. The Data Science Infrastructure (DSI) project focuses on data-driven approaches to make data more readily available to LANL projects. DSI workflows leverage metadata stored in data-agnostic databases, supported by an abstraction layer API to simplify searching and accessing data across simulation runs, experimental runs, filesystems and environments. The abstraction layer API allows the user to query a range of data types: raw output, processed data, configuration data, machine learning models, performance data, etc. In addition to the abstraction backend API, the DSI project is developing client-driven query APIs and UIs to support specific user workflows.

Fuel Cell Vehicle Infrastructure Research and Demonstration: Cooperative Research and Development Final Report, CRADA Number CRD-16-601

In support of NREL's mission, which includes preparing technologies and markets with 'speed and scale,' HATCI will loan up to two fuel cell vehicles (collectively, the 'vehicles') to NREL. Operation of the vehicles enables NREL to provide education of the vehicle technology and research renewable hydrogen production, fueling equipment, and hydrogen energy system integration in real-world conditions and use. These vehicles provide an opportunity for NREL to evaluate the Hydrogen Infrastructure Testing & Research Facility (HITRF) using a variety of vehicle types, which provides a balanced portfolio of this technology and represents real world conditions more accurately.

Gas-Electrical Grid Coordination for Cross Infrastructure Resilience Enhancement

An electric power grid is exceedingly faced with extreme events, such as physical attacks and natural disasters. In comparison, the underground natural gas pipeline-based transportation network is considered less vulnerable to such environmental threats. We consider that the overhead power transmissions can be hardened by replacing segments of electric power system with underground natural gas pipelines as an energy transportation system to counter effect extreme events which can damage interdependent infrastructures severely. This project investigates an extension of the power system planning problem considering extreme events and identifies the feasibility of solving this problem with advanced modeling and optimization methods. The proposed planning framework is formulated as a two-stage optimization problem. It is found that the integrated planning introduces the additional cost of pipeline planning and the operation constraints into the power system planning. However, gas pipelines are generally less exposed to extreme events, which can provide a more resilient power transmission for supplying the electrical loads. It is with this potential for enhancing the power grid resilience that the proposed integrated expansion of electricity and natural gas system is considered an optimal layout for the transportation of energy.

OpenK: An Open Infrastructure for the Accumulation, Sharing and Reuse of High Performance Computing Knowledge

In high performance computing (HPC), often a wide range of knowledge about the particular domains, software applications, and hardware architectures are necessary for applying the right optimizations in the appropriate contexts. In today’s practice, however, such knowledge has been expressed and managed in an ad-hoc manner by each individual. Systematic accumulation, sharing and reuse of the knowledge across a broad community has been difficult. This paper introduces OpenK, an ontology-based open infrastructure for solving the problem. By centering around ontology – a generic knowledge representation – and extensible designs, it offers a promising support for lowering the barriers.
