Special Session 5
Intelligent Control and Management of Modern Power and Energy Systems
Due
to the rapid development of information and
communication technology and artificial
intelligence, as well as the power and energy
transformation, the control and management of modern
power and energy systems have been changed. A great
deal of new technologies, control algorithms,
models, problems, and business modes emerge, which
requires intelligence in the systems.
This session aims to focus on the intelligent
control and management of modern power and energy
systems. The submissions are encouraged to focus on
but not limited to intelligent control and
management algorithms, artificial intelligence, big
data analytics, cloud computing, internet of things,
mobile internet, demand response, and distributed
control with their application to smart grid, energy
internet, electrical internet of things, and other
multi-energy systems.
A brief list of potential submission topics is
shown below:
-
Intelligent control and management algorithms
for modern power and energy systems
-
Artificial intelligence algorithms for modern
power and energy systems
-
Big data analytics for modern power and energy
systems
