ReCharged: Climate Aware Resilience for Sustainable Critical and Interdependent Infrastructure Systems Enhanced by Emerging Digital Technologies

Grid Engineers is coordinating this very prestigious, multi-disciplinary, synergy project bringing together a total of 14 Institutions, academic and industrial, from Europe and the US, to deliver a practical visualisation platform for optimisation and streamlining of climate resilience and whole-life carbon emission assessments for interdependent transport and energy systems, lifelines, and assets. To achieve this, ReCharged harnesses the power of digital technologies and data to quantify life-cycle functionality and post-hazard recovery. Accounting for interdependencies that lead to failure propagation in transport and energy systems, the delivered platform will lead to faster decision-making in infrastructure management, accelerated post-hazard recovery, and will mitigate losses and societal ramifications associated with climate change.
