Modeling And Simulation Center for Collaborative Technologies
Home of the Virginia Clean Energy Business Incubator
Riverstone Technology Park
Headquarters for the MODSIM and the Energy
Commercialization Programs200 acres and 60,000 Sq/Ft.
Mission Statement
The Mission of the Modeling and Simulation Center for Collaborative Technologies is to provide advanced technological decision support capabilities to partners and stakeholders in the environmental and energy research sectors and to help the USA realize its #1 position with MODSIM in the world.
The Mission of the Virginia Clean Energy Business Incubator is to bring energy technologies to market throughout Virginia.
Economic Benefits
• Attracts new high technology companies to the USA
• Promotes “high-paying” technology jobs in the USA
• Supports existing businesses within the USA• Provides unique technological research tools for
the USA• Develops new research agendas for faculty
universities in the USA• Provides new internship opportunities for
students in the USA
History
• In 2007, Virginia Tech conducted a market feasibility study of the USA and international modeling and simulation markets
• In early 2008, Virginia Tech launched a niche program in MODSIM –energy and environmento Virginia Tech received $1.4 million for a
Phase 1 modeling and simulation program- environmental sector
• In August 2009, Virginia Tech created the Virginia Clean Energy Business Incubatoro Virginia Tech received $2.75 million for a
Phase 2 and 3 modeling and simulation program-energy focus
o In November 2009, Virginia Tech launched its first research efforts- The Distributed Hybrid Power Program and the Small Distributed Wind Turbine Program
o In February 2009, the Small Business and Residential Energy Service Center was created

Virginia Clean Energy Business Technology Incubator
• Part of the National Alliance for Clean Energy Business Incubatorso The State of Virginia was accepted March 2009 with the
headquarters being in Riverstone, Halifax Countyo Goal to research and commercialization energy
technologies• Five main energy thrusts-Tobacco Start-up Funding was
$42 million o Small distributed power systems (hybrid
generation)o Bioenergyo Nuclearo Clean coal o Nano
Virginia Clean Energy Business Incubator
Goals of the Clean Energy Program
• Identify and define energy problems in the state
• Research technologies that have the potential for commercialization
• Provide business services to companies (feasibility studies, business planning, contracts management, IP consulting)
• Identify capital investment and partners• Attract and retain companies in Virginia• Capitalize new companies• Market technologies nationally and
internationally
Virginia provides management web services for the Alliance
Commercialization Areas
Energy Systems Modeling
Focus areas: small distributed wind, smart grid, biofuel, biomass, energy efficiency, battery technology and energy storage.
• Product design towards commercialization• Engineering design optimization• Feasibility analysis (cost-effectiveness
implementability)• Market analysis• Research to commercial phasing• Capital investment fundraising
