*** Extended Paper Submission Deadline: January 11th
1st IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on
Management of Smart Grids
<http://smartgrid.intec.ugent.be/>
Date and place: April 23, 2010, Osaka, Japan
(held in conjunction with IFIP/IEEE NOMS 2010)
* Scope
In light of current worldwide efforts to increase energy efficiency,
increase usage of renewable energy sources, and reduce CO2 emissions,
current electricity networks face many challenges stemming from an
increasing demand for electrical energy and increasingly variable and
distributed production (e.g. caused by renewable sources). Hence, an
evolution to so-called Smart Grids is inevitable. The Smart Grid
consists in overlaying the power delivery system with an ICT layer
that allows a utility provider and its consumers to constantly monitor
and adjust electricity use.
Worldwide science foundations and governments currently support the
development and planned deployment of Smart Grids. However, many
interesting research questions still need to be answered. A number of
focus domains are distinguished: (i) smart metering: monitoring and
customer involvement in energy usage, (ii) demand side and demand
response management and real time pricing, (iii) a Home Energy
controlling box (Internet box like), (iv) ICT readiness for Mobile
Electricity Consumers (e.g. pluggable hybrid electrical vehicles,
PHEV), (v) efficient management of energy sources (conventional such
power plants and green such as wind/solar as well as excess power
generated by the customers and sold to providers), and (vi) management
of transmission networks and distribution networks (including the main
grid as well as micro grids such as municipal or regional grids).
The workshop addresses the mentioned focal points, and targets the
definition of the required underlying ICT architectures, monitoring
and management technologies for smart energy grids. In addition,
results from socio-technical studies are solicited to provide insight
in the user interactions and behavioral response to the envisaged
systems, together with business modeling studies to propose the market
models enabled/driven by smart energy ICT. Topics
Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited, to
the following:
* Efficient monitoring of Smart Grids
* Application of network management technology for
efficient Smart Grid management
* Software architectures for Smart Grid management
* Energy consumption profiling automation
* Energy production scheduling
* Smart Grid dimensioning
* Smart Grid reliability and robustness
* Results from socio-technical studies
* Business modeling and techno-economical studies to propose
Smart Grid market models
* Management of Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles
* Home energy management
* Results from initial proof-of-concept demonstrations are also welcomed.
* Paper Submission
Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF format
through the JEMS at smartgrid2010. We are seeking submissions for full
papers (max. 8 pages on 2-column IEEE style) and short papers
