NSF awards UCSD team $39M to improve integration of distributed energy resources into grid; EV batteries also

Green Car Congress

The major driver for the project is the need to decarbonize the electrical grid, protect it from cybersecurity attacks and make it more resilient. We will be replicating the entire California power grid on one campus. The goal is to make the testbed available to outside research teams and industry by 2025.

New E3SM exascale modeling system for earth simulation released to scientific community

Green Car Congress

Earth system simulation involves solving approximations of physical, chemical and biological governing equations on spatial grids at resolutions that are as fine in scale as computing resources will allow. With the new system, we’ll be able to more realistically simulate the present, which gives us more confidence to simulate the future.

IBM and EKZ partner to make plug-in charging more convenient with new smartphone application

Green Car Congress

This near real-time information will also help utility providers better manage power grid loads during peak charging times. The pilot combines a Web-based application designed and developed by IBM scientists in Zurich and a data recording device created by the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW).
