Special Session on
Evolutionary Computation for Complex Optimization in the Energy Domain IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence 2018 – WCCI 2018 Congress on Evolutionary Computation – CEC 2018 Aim and scope: Increasing energy demand and limited world resources call for sustainability, which is critical to keep up the world at the current pace. Efficiency is very relevant to contribute to this sustainability, and adequate methods of energy production and consumption are highly relevant. Optimization approaches are a crucial part of the planning, operation, and control of energy systems. However, many optimization problems in the energy domain are complex by nature since they are highly constrained and face issues related to high-dimensionality, lack of information, noisy and corrupted data as well as real-time requirements. Under these conditions, it becomes difficult to find a solution in an adequate amount of time. Even the most sophisticated exact solutions require workarounds that often lead to unsatisfactory performance and applicability of the algorithms. Due to the difficulties of traditional algorithms to find feasible solutions for those complex problems in real-world conditions, Evolutionary Computation (EC) has emerged and demonstrated satisfactory performance in a wide variety of applications in the energy domain. This special session aims at bringing together the latest applications of EC to optimization problems in the energy domain. The problems can be focused in different parts of the energy chain (e.g., heating, cooling, and electricity supply) and different consumer targets (e.g., residential or industrial level). Problems dealing with uncertainty, dynamic environments, and large-scale search spaces are a plus to the aim of this special session. Potential topics, include but not limited to: Electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles Electricity markets Energy scheduling Heat and electricity joint optimization problems Hydrogen economy problems Multi-objective problems in the energy domain Natural gas optimization problems Optimal power flow in distribution and transmission Residential, industrial and district cooling/heating problems Smart grid and micro-grid problems Solar and wind power integration and forecast Super grids (continental and trans-continental transmission) Transportation & energy joint problems Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: February 1st, 2018 Paper Acceptance Notification Date: March 15, 2018 Final Paper Submission & Early Registration Deadline: May 1st, 2018 IEEE WCCI 2018: July 08-13, 2018 Submit a paper to the special session: 1 - Submission link: http://ieee-cis.org/conferences/cec2018/upload.php 2 - Follow the webpage indications and fill all the fields in the form. 3 - Select "SS 21 Evolutionary Computation for Complex Optimization in the Energy Domain" in Main Research Topic during submission Special Session Organizers: Joao Soares, GECAD, Polytechnic of Porto (joaps@isep.ipp.pt) Fernando Lezama, GECAD, Polytechnic of Porto (flzcl@isep.ipp.pt) Zita Vale, GECAD, Polytechnic of Porto (zav@isep.ipp.pt) This Special Session is under activities of IEEE CIS Task Force 3 on Computational Intelligence in the Energy Domain |
