Description
The aim of DECIDe is to assess the feasibility of a single, accessible, multi-stakeholder environment for whole systems modelling of decarbonisation /power solutions, relevant to high speed rail.
The DECIDe project takes a multi-model approach to provide integrated modelling. It uses diverse model types for subcomponents.
This draws on two capabilities:
- The multi-model approach provides integrated models based on diverse model types for subcomponents.
- The model marketplace approach which provides an accessible, secure environment for stakeholders to share and integrate data.
This environment will support cost-effective, integrated modelling to identify decarbonisation benefits in a manner that encourages stakeholder engagement, including new entrants to the rail domain.
The project is a collaboration between Newcastle University Schools of Engineering and Computing
