CPAIOR2011 Workshop on MATHEMATICAL OPTIMIZATION FOR ENERGY NETWORKS
Tuesday, May 24, 2011, Zuse Institute (ZIB), Berlin, Germany
Scope
-----
Energy networks are the backbone of a reliable supply of gas, oil, and power
for industrial and private customers. It is required to safely and
efficiently distribute the various sources of energy. Companies involved in
this business are interested in methods to set up, manage, maintain, and
extend such networks in an economic way. New technology advances (such as
smart grids) and new (de-) regulation rules for network operators yield new
challenges that have not addressed before. Recently, contributions from
mathematical optimization techniques are in use to solve such tasks.
At the CPAIOR2011 (http://cpaior2011.zib.de) we organize a one day workshop
on "Mathematical Optimization for Energy Networks" to present and discuss
recent developments in this area. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
* Gas and Oil Networks,
* Smart Grids,
* Networks for Wind, Solar, and Other Renewable Energy Sources,
* Power Networks.,
* Management & Control of Energy Networks,
* Integration of Stochastic Effects (Volatile Sources and Demands, Outages)
in Energy Networks,
* Topology Planning for Energy Networks,
* Dynamic Effects in Energy Networks.
Invited Speakers
----------------
* Daniel De Wolf, Universite du Littoral Cote d'Opale:
"Optimal Design and Dimensioning of Hydrogen Transmission Pipeline Network"
* Asgeir Tomasgard, Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet: "A
Stochastic Mixed Integer Model for Natural Gas Infrastructure Investments"
Organization
------------
The workshop offers 9 slots for speakers, which will be selected by the
workshop organizers on the basis of submitted abstracts. Participation is
open to everyone. Registration to the CPAIOR2011 conference is required.
Important Dates:
* March 31, 2011 Abstract submission
* April 16, 2011 Notification
Submissions
-----------
Please send a title and an abstract of your talk (up to 2 pages) to the
workshop organizers:
cpaior2011-energy@zib.de
The workshop material (abstract and presentations) will be published
online.
