Smart Grid Planning, Optimization and Control - SPOC

Chairs: Michael Affenzeller, Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences, Austria
Stephan Hutterer, Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences, Austria

In recent years, smart energy systems evolve all over the world, treated both in research as well as in industry.
Especially within this research area computational methods come up to be of increasing importance for various applications
like processing of large amounts of sensory data, controlling real-time devices in distribution grids or using modeling & simulation methods for
sustainable power grid planning. The aim of this session is to address these upcoming research issues, where achievements in computer sciences
enable future technologies for planning, optimization and control of smart grids.


SPOC invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work, including the following topics, but not limited to:

Algorithms for modeling, control and optimization
