Abstract

We present elements of a pervasive computing enabled modeling environment for integrated national energy systems (CI-MINES) to support policy and decision making as it pertains to co-evolving socio-energy systems. Decision support systems built using CI-MINES will provide public policy makers as well as private stakeholders entirely new ways to design and architect next-generation energy systems. When complete, CI-MINES can be used to evaluate the relative merits of competing conceptual architectures for interactive energy grids and markets before substantial investment is made in realizing them. It will also help evaluate new ways to invest in renewable energy sources and assess the reliability and security of the emerging grid architectures. CI-MINES is based on recent computational advances for modeling extremely large, complex, multi-scale socio-technical systems.
