2018 Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems

10 April 2018, Porto, Portugal

This workshop is part of the CPS Week, 10 - 14 April 2018, Porto, Portugal

The IEEE Industrial Electronics Society is technical co-sponsor of this workshop.

Workshop chairs:

Peter Palensky (TU Delft, The Netherlands), Anurag Srivastava (Washington State University, USA)

Scope

Modern energy systems combine information technology with electrical and thermal infrastructure. They also interact with other systems like markets and are subject to many regulations. Existing modeling and simulation tools are not capable to cover such systems in all of their aspects, hence new languages, methods and tools are necessary. A combination of universal modeling languages and established, domain-specific tools (like grid simulators and telecommunication simulators) is necessary. This leads to hybrid energy systems models, where for instance a multi-agent framework and an electric grid simulator are combined to investigate smart electric vehicle charging algorithms. Also the potential size of such systems poses a challenge for modeling and simulation. And implementing these future cyber-physical systems is another substantial challenge. The designed algorithms need to be compact, computationally inexpensive, potentially self-organizing and intrinsically stable if applied to real energy systems.

During the workshop, a dedicated session for demos is foreseen. We encourage tool developers (with industrial as well as academic background) to apply for a slot in this session. Please contact the workshop organizers to get in touch.

This workshop brings together researchers and industrialists to exchange ideas and newest research results on the following (not exhaustive) list of topics:

Hybrid modeling and simulation
Co-Simulation of multi-domain systems
Ontologies for energy systems
Applications of cyber-physical energy systems
Distributed algorithms and control
Standards in interfacing components
Formal languages for energy systems
Smart Grid modeling
Smart Cities modeling
Design of simulations/experiments
