Climate policy assessment and Mitigation Modeling to Integrate national and global Transition pathways for Environmental-friendly Development (COMMITTED)
November 27, 2023
| Energy Assessment and Modelling
With no singular pathway to fulfilling Paris Agreement and reaching globally agreed climate targets, the action intends to reinforce global climate change mitigation effort by supporting developing countries. This action builds on past and existing international cooperation and will seek to engage the most influential Asian/EU experts on models and modelling tools to increase domestic capacities on low-emission development scenarios modelling. As part of the study, socio-economic impact assessment (of decarbonization policies) is also proposed.

| Energy
| Electricity and Renewables
A digital twin is a dynamic, real-time replica of the physical distribution grid. It brings together data from various sources to provide a comprehensive view of power flows, and grid behaviours. This project will be the first demonstration in India, at a useful scale, of applying cloud-based digital twin technology to an electrical distribution grid. The aim is to improve the reliability and cost-effectiveness of an emerging economy distribution network. The pilot is taking place in Delhi under the BRPL licensee region.
