TISEDTalk: Using energy-electricity-economy (3E) system models to support decision-making on complex challenges
McISCE is partnering with TISED to present Kathleen Vaillancourt, President of ESMIA.
ESMIA is a leader in 3E system modeling, supporting strategic decision-making across North America and globally. With over 20 years of experience, our multidisciplinary team develops and applies advanced system models to address complex challenges, such as energy security and energy transition. This presentation will showcase the comprehensive capabilities of ESMIA鈥檚 models, highlighting insights derived for decision-making through recent projects. Key examples include:
- Energy-electricity system model: Provides detailed, multi-level system analyses, identifying optimal roles for emerging technologies considering competition for clean resources and providing cost-effective strategies for capacity expansion. It also supports short-term power sector planning by accounting for hourly dispatch, ensuring supply resiliency amid demand and supply variability.
- Energy rates model: Evaluates impacts energy transition on stakeholders, quantifying cost effects on utilities and consumer tariffs. It also projects future energy bills to analyze energy affordability and assess subsidies to mitigate energy poverty.
- Macroeconomic model: Assesses the macroeconomic impacts of energy policies, providing insights into economic growth, job markets, and welfare, essential for gauging economies' readiness for energy transition.
The presentation will conclude with region- and sector-specific project examples.

McISCE & SEAM
Alternative Assessments Workshop
McISCE is partnering with Sustainability in Engineering at 捆绑SM社区 (SEAM) to offer a 2-hour workshop on Alternative Assessments (AA).
听
AA is a tool for sustainable chemical use and is pertinent to all disciplines with an interest in human and environmental health and safety: engineers, toxicologists, policy makers, corporate sustainability managers, and more.
Participants will also have the chance to obtain hands-on experience performing a P2OASys assessment and interpreting the results using a professional AA data portal.
The session will be headed by speakers from the Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI), who will be joining virtually from the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
