Exploring Energy Futures With Synthetic Modelling
Synthetic energy futures involve point-in-time calculation of the grid with a wide variety of inputs and controls to extend current technologies into evaluating future scenarios and impacts.

RWI brings people to energy design, including their lives and livelihoods, activities, choices, access barriers, economics, and resilience through the creation of a hyper-localized synthetic population that reacts and responds to new energy innovations modelled in each city.
The future is novel and we need new toolsets to explore this reality and data-supported decisions. Our models create the missing data for advancing decision support without surveillance or costly and time-consuming pilot programs.
Energy solutions for the future must enable global energy systems to transition to meet climate goals of net-zero emissions. The pressures of electrification, decentralization, climate change, and cyberattacks, add to the demand for adaptive scenario planning, mitigating technology, and education. Solutions to be deployed must show tangible results and increases in efficiency as our society depends on energy 24/7 to run everything in our lives.
RWI works to solve complexities within energy futures with artificial intelligence-based Single Synthetic Environments. Synthetic energy futures and modelling involve point-in-time calculation of the grid with various inputs and controls to extend current technologies into evaluating future scenarios and impacts. These geospatial environments include hyper-localized models of the people and businesses, the infrastructure, technology, and policies, enabling future scenarios to play forward.
Model implementations and scenarios include, but are not limited to:
