This dissertation focuses primarily on the system analysis of critical infrastructure systems (CIS), with a particular interest to address the modeling and computational challenges brought by uncertainties, interdependencies and distributed decision making of various components and stakeholders involved in CIS.
This data supports the project of the same name, which explored how locating charging facilities at California's highway rest stops might impact electricity demand, grid operation, and integration of renewables like solar and wind into California's energy mix.
This research studied the feasibility of the deployment of renewable hydrogen fueling for fuel cell electric vehicles and DC fast charging stations for plug-in electric vehicles at highway safety roadside rest areas and the integration of stations with the electricity grid in California.
This policy brief summarizes findings from researchers at the University of California, Davis, who collected state travel data and electricity demand data to run a model that identified optimal highway rest areas for electric vehicle charger installation and calculated how an increase in charging demand would affect the California electricity grid at selected highway locations.
The UC Davis Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Research Center hosted a seminar demonstrating its free GIS Electric Vehicle Charger Planning Toolbox to plan market distribution, fast charging, and workplace charging for electric vehicles.
This research will improve long-term sustainability by identifying how and why (or why not) transportation electrification (TE) projects align with regional and local transportation goals. The research will result in a deep dive case study that can serve as a template for evaluating future TE expenditures with respect to identifying and quantifying disadvantaged community benefits.
This project is aimed to develop a deep reinforcement learning based smart charging technology for multiple chargers at the University of California, Riverside.
This research provides insights to policymakers and academics on how to properly allocate electric vehicle charging infrastructure and manage charging activities.
In 2019, UC Davis experts met with a cross section of policy stakeholders to discuss sustainable transportation topics in California and the rest of the US over the coming years. The Transportation Fundamentals briefing series was an opportunity for staffers in the Legislature, Regulatory Agencies and NGOs who are new to the sustainable transportation space to familiarize themselves with important technologies, statistics and trends in electric vehicles, alternative fuels, sustainable freight.
