ComForEn – Scope
Artificial intelligence has been making fast progress since the breakthrough of large language models and the digitalisation of energy systems has not remained uneffected by these advances. Applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies are not new in the energy domain. However, enhanced possibilities and improved computational performance have opened new fields of applications.
The ComForEn symposium brings together component and system manufacturers, power grid operators, energy suppliers, and research institutions.
The OVE Austrian Electrotechnical Association, supported by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology and TU Wien, invite experts from academia and industry to discuss new opportunities, insights, and challenges of contemporary artificial intelligence solutions for the energy system.
This year, we co-host the conference altogether with the Open Source Modelling and Simulation of Energy Systems (OSMSES) 2024.
OSMSES 2024 – Scope
Simulation is an essential tool to manage the complexity of modern energy systems and to define effective solutions for planning, designing and operating energy systems. Energy systems are expected to include electricity, gas, and heat networks – to maximize the use of all available forms of energy – and to include storage capacity. The distributed nature of new resources (generation and storage) and the participation of loads in energy management require fast, reactive control and protection. In this context, it is expected that the monitoring and control of modern energy systems will be characterized by the distribution of functions. At the same time, a large use of communication media is envisioned.
The interactions between continuous dynamics and discrete events are becoming more relevant due to the increasing number of controllable devices (e.g., power electronic converters in power grids) and the use of networked control systems. In addition, power systems are increasingly driven by market competition, and the impact on system operation should also be considered. In this context, several research groups have developed modelling and simulation solutions to address these challenges, and they have disseminated their software using an open-source approach. The workshop will address all aspects related to the use and development of open source tools for power and energy systems modelling and simulation. The main objective of the workshop is to foster discussion on these topics among experts from academia, industry and utilities.
The OSMSES workshop brings together component and system manufacturers, power grid operators, energy suppliers, and research institutions.
