With respect to applied research, researchers have conducted in-depth studies on theories and methodologies for optimising the operation and flexible power distribution of integrated energy systems (IES) for the ‘dual carbon’ goals. Significant progress has been made in energy data mining and utilisation, flexible power demand side management, IES security and protection, and R&D and application of key components for flexible power distribution. In addition, the researchers have developed efficient sensing, control, and decision-making technologies for autonomous driving. They have also explored intelligent transportation innovations through large-scale traffic data processing and integrated traffic planning, which further reinforces the intelligence in future transportation systems. Moreover, the researchers have investigated the mechanism of coastal marine disasters, especially under extreme climate events, and proposed advanced methods for structural health monitoring and intelligent operation and maintenance, which are significant in improving urban public safety and resilience. SKL-IOTSC has led or undertaken various projects under MOST, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the Macao Science and Technology Development Fund, and has established several Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao joint laboratories to foster research collaboration in the GBA. The laboratory has received a substantial number of national and regional awards for its scientific and technological achievements, including a second prize in the State Scientific and Technological Progress Award, a first prize in the Guangdong Science and Technology Progress Award, the Guanghua Engineering Science and Technology Prize, the Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation Science and Technology Progress Award, as well as Macao Science and Technology Awards. These accolades are a testament to the laboratory’s recognition in Macao and across the country. Macao’s First Smart City Simulation and Decision-making Platform SKL-IOTSC has built the first smart city simulation and decision-making platform in and for Macao. The platform consists of various modules, including urban big data, smart energy, intelligent transportation, structural health monitoring of civil infrastructure, and urban flooding simulation, and it can further facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration for sustainable smart city development. Based on a 3D graphic model of Macao, the laboratory has also established a city-wide simulation system with digital twin technology, through which researchers can collect traceable real-time data, develop simulation models, and conduct pilot tests. The researchers have implemented effective interactive simulation models of urban systems in various settings and obtained fruitful application results. For instance, they developed a COVID-19 hotspot map for Macao in June 2022 through the platform (urban big data module) with spatiotemporal big data and knowledge graph technologies. The real-time operating system enhanced the city’s capability in epidemic prevention. The researchers will continue to contribute to the city’s competence in coupling a physical replica with its digital twin model in order to provide theoretical and technological support for intelligent urban regulation and decision-making. 科研佈局:兩大基礎研究領域+三大重點應用領域 Research layout: two fundamental fields and three typical application fields
