正规赌博十大平台排行走在智慧城市研究的前沿

可持续性, 可靠性, security and cost effectiveness — all are important factors when considering how to best approach and solve the issue of how we get our electricity. 这在一定程度上要归功于美国政府的两项研究资助.S. 能源部, 正规赌博十大平台排行, 以及其他项目合作伙伴, is researching how best to move away from legacy electric power grids and focus on consumer-deployed technologies within a smart grid.

正规赌博十大平台排行在这方面的研究是由 阿明Khodaei，副教授 Daniel Felix Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science. Khodaei points out that the electric power grid — the largest machine ever built and the “greatest engineering achievement of the 20th century,” as identified by the National Academy of Engineering — is going through an extensive modernization phase. ,现代化, Khodaei说, can fundamentally change the way electricity is supplied and delivered while helping to make the development of smart cities a reality.

“The legacy electric power grids face several challenges, as they have been traditionally designed and operated with a heavy dependence on fossil-fuel, non-clean generation and with the assumptions of no or limited equipment unavailability. However, this paradigm is changing with the introduction of smart grids, which empower end-use electricity consumers to deploy local generation resources and smart appliances and further proactively participate in the grid,Khodaei说, whose research primarily deals with smart grids — more specifically, 基于优化的智能电网决策. “This is made possible through deployment of myriad sensing and measurement devices enabled via information and communication technologies.”

智能电网，由能源定义.gov, is a “class of technology people are using to bring utility electricity delivery systems into the 21st century using computer-based remote control and automation.霍达伊说, the deployed information and communication technologies infrastructure within the smart grid, 以及其他相关技术, 能否成为智慧城市的主要推动者.

智慧城市是由美国政府定义的.S. Office of Scientific and Technical Information as “a city that monitors and integrates conditions of all of its critical infrastructures for better optimizing its resources, 计划预防性维修活动, and monitoring security aspects while maximizing services to its citizens.” Khodaei adds that a smart city has many aspects, from electricity to transportation to health.

“在智能电网之下, the electricity supply is moving mainly toward renewables, 主要是风能和太阳能. Communication is becoming an important part of the system, and we’re seeing more and more transportation electrification and consumer-deployed technologies like rooftop solar panels, 家用电池与需求响应,霍达伊说. “This is indeed a huge step in involving end-use consumers in how the electricity infrastructure is designed and managed, 也是智慧城市发展的关键一步.”

Khodaei说 that as part of the smart city research, DU is collaborating with the city and county of Denver to write a grant proposal on urban smart communities for the National Science Foundation.

He adds that the effort has brought together leading experts on smart cities and urban studies from across DU, including engineering and computer science; geography and the environment; business; teaching and learning sciences; anthropology; economics; law; DU’s 社区参与和服务学习中心; and 项目X-ITE.

随着内部和外部合作的增加, Khodaei is hopeful that smart city research will be extensively conducted at DU in the near future. If so, he says, 它可能会带来新的方法, 算法, 解决方案, 技术和劳动力发展, which will impact how urban communities are designed and managed.
