Title:Power Generation Expansion Portfolio Planning to Satisfy Florida’s Growing Electricity Demands![]() PI: Tapas Das Research Interests and Contact Information Co-PI:Ralph Fehr Description: The objectives of the proposed research are to 1) develop a comprehensive generation technology based portfolio optimization (GTPO) model and its solution algorithm, and 2) develop educational resources to enhance training of scientific workforce for the state of Florida. The research will directly address three major challenges: fulfillment of the growing power demand, meeting the emissions targets, and supply of technology workforce. The potential economic impact of the proposed research on the State of Florida is expected to be very high, since an energy-secure environment is a basic necessity to support the current trend of explosive growth both in industry and human resources. Budget: $71,906 Universities: USF External Collaborators: Argonne National Lab |
