Hello, A yearly allocation for the LCRC cluster has been requested with the following updated information: Submitter/PI: Emil M Constantinescu Project Name: UQCLM Division: MCS Project title: Uncertainty Quantification for Land Model in Climate Science Associated funding: Climate Science for a Sustainable Energy Future; PI: Emil Constantinescu; site PI: Ian Foster Other Systems: Science: In this project we study uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods applied to Community Land Model (CLM). CLM is the land model for the Community Earth System Model (CESM) and the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM). It consists of several sets of large and nonlinear complex systems. We aim to develop intrusive uncertainty quantification methods and to demonstrate their computational advantage over a differentiated version of CLM with automatic differentiation (OpenAD) which will open the way for gradient-based optimization for calibration in land testbed. Project description: Wind and solar power are becoming worldwide a significant component of the power generation portfolio. In the U.S. an adoption level of 20% wind power is expected by the year 2030. Such a large-scale adoption casts many challenges to the operation of the electrical power grid because wind power is highly intermittent and difficult to predict. In particular, unit commitment (UC) and energy dispatch (ED) operations are of great importance because of their strong economic impact.

From an operational point of view, we ask how suitable are the forecast capabilities of state-of-the-art numerical weather prediction (NWP) models for the management of energy systems and power grids? This is an important question because NWP models are expected to be used to make real-time operational decisions with important economic implications. To this end, we analyze and develop simulation codes that form the dynamical core of NWP models at the interaction with wind turbines.
