🆕🌟open access publication in Sustainable Cities and Society 🌟 🏙The interconnected nature of urban water systems and other critical infrastructure domains (CIDs) like energy grids, mobility networks, and IT infrastructure is widely recognized. Multi-sector dependencies and joint management of different CIDs can mitigate undesired cascading effects across domains. But, which combined modeling frameworks and software for coupled simulation exist out there? 📚In our new paper led by Siling Chen we contribute a review of 24 recent peer-reviewed publications on coupled simulation of urban water systems (water supply and drainage networks) and other CIDs, including energy grids, mobility networks, and IT infrastructure systems, extracted from a larger set of 222 publications. 💡More than that, we deduct a forward-thinking research agenda, which shall prioritize: . knowledge transfer when fostering coupled simulation across CIDs . reconciling differences in spatial and temporal dependencies . scaling up simulations to a network level . exploration of multi-sector interconnections beyond bilateral dependencies Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gsrTYH7X This is the ouput of a great multi-sector and multidisciplinary effort supported by the ide3a project (http://ide3a.net) and enabled by the Einstein Center Digital Future.

📣 #PublicationAlert One of my first inspirations from my PhD work, Ecological Robustness-Oriented Grid Network Design for Resilience Against Multiple Hazards, has been officially published on #IEEEXplore at IEEE Transactions on Power Systems #ieeetps #ieeepes Using long-term resilient ecosystems as benchmarks, we re-design the power networks to realize a higher ecological robustness (Reco) for power systems. The improvement of Reco comes along with improvement of inherent resiliency and robustness against unexpected events. The results show that we can greatly reduce violations under N-x contingencies with a few added branches strategically guided by Reco. Additionally, the metric, Reco, shows great potential for further investigation and application to quantify and explain the inherent resiliency of power systems leveraging its information theory- and graph theory-based formulation. With the increasing integration of renewable energies and the target of net-zero, it actually requires our power networks, both transmission and distribution networks, to be resilient. Supplying clean energy toward decarbonization and greater sustainability is only advantageous if the resilience and functionality of power and energy systems can be secured against catastrophic events. It is a critical consideration of how to design and upgrade the power infrastructure for enhanced inherent resilience. Reco has the capability to serve as a quantifiable indictor of power network's inherent resilience.

Co-investigators of the #TransiT hub Professors David Flynn and Philip Greening are part of a new national research hub to upgrade and #decarbonise the UK's interconnected transport infrastructures. Backed by £10m from the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom and UK Research and Innovation and led by researchers inc. Newcastle University and the University of Cambridge, the Research Hub for Decarbonised Adaptable and Resilient Transport Infrastructures (DARe) will identify pathways and solutions for delivering a resilient, net-zero transport system to meet the challenges of #ClimateChange.

#FSCloud 🔶Professor Mark Parsons, EPCC Director, takes the stage to discuss Data-Driven Innovation Initiatives and how supporting collaborative partnerships can help build new opportunities in a #data-led economy. #EPCC/ #EIDF recent news: 🔸The University of Edinburgh's EPCC will manage the Exascale supercomputer, set to perform one billion billion calculations per second. This high-performance computing capability will drive key research and industry projects across the UK. 🔸Trialling Waste Heat Storage in Disused Mine Workings in Edinburgh: A first-of-its-kind system is being trialed so it can store waste heat from the facility in disused mine workings, which could heat over 5,000 households in #Edinburgh by recycling energy that would otherwise be wasted. The facility currently releases up to 70 GWh of excess heat per year, which is expected to reach 272 GWh when the UK Government's next-generation Exascale supercomputer is installed at the University of Edinburgh. ⭐️Professor Parsons, expressed that the EPCC will use everything they've learned over the past 30 years to provide the best possible service for thousands of users from across the UK's scientific and industrial research communities. ⭐️ Learn more: https://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/ Futurescot Heriot-Watt University | The University of Edinburgh | EPCC | Bayes Centre | Usher Institute, The University of Edinburgh | The National Robotarium | Roslin Institute | The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies

Germany aims for #ClimateNeutrality by 2045, reducing emissions by over 88% from 1990 levels and becoming carbon negative by 2050. To reach that goal, four scientists from TUM School of Engineering and Design (ED) Technical University of Munich - Prof. Thomas Hamacher, Dr. Kai Zosseder, Christian Hepf and Prof. Werner Lang - are researching strategies for the heat transition, emphasizing the global significance of transitioning buildings and cities to #SustainableEnergy systems. https://ow.ly/jVC750R1rUT #TUMresearch #FaszinationForschung #ClimateChange #HeatTransition #EnergySystems #RenewableEnergy #Emissions #Energy #Climate #ClimateAction #ZeroEmissions #SolarPower #CO2 #GeothermalEnergy #SustainableConstruction TUM Chair of Building Technology and Climate Responsive Design Thomas Auer 📸 Uli Benz, Astrid Eckert / TUM
