JST-NSF Workshop on Cooperative Distributed Energy Management Systems. To be Held in Honolulu, HI, January 11-12,2014.

本次研讨会汇集了来自日本、美国、德国和英国的国际领先研究人员，讨论在我们迈向可持续发展所必需的低碳社会时，稳定和安全的能源供应。研讨会的目的是讨论我们的集体研究方法，然后发展合作努力，制定合作分布式能源管理系统。研讨会将于2014年1月11日至12日在檀香山的希尔顿威基基海滩酒店举行。随着我们向更可持续发展的社会迈进，世界各地迫切需要改变我们如何生产和使用能源的范式，考虑需要工程，计算，环境，政策，经济和社会科学研究和教育的解决方案。该提案沿着日本科学技术厅的支持，汇集了一批能源和可持续发展领域的国际研究人员和教育工作者，共同讨论这些问题。本次研讨会将研究对能源的产生和需求响应进行最佳控制的分布式能源合作管理系统。此次研讨会的独特之处在于，将邀请美国的杰出研究人员与日本的研究人员一起参加，并邀请沿着来自德国和英国的研究人员参加，讨论并形成合作分布式能源合作管理系统。讨论的主题包括：可再生能源发电，包括太阳能和风能，沿着分布式发电和可再生能源的集成;智能电网的通信、控制和计算方面;存储选项;需求响应，包括负载控制、需求侧管理、价格控制和消费者参与;更广泛的影响研讨会将邀请来自不同国家的研究人员，开发合作分布式能源管理系统的前景。这将导致多国合作研究和教育工作。这可能会带来解决能源和可持续性问题的新方法，以及创新和商业化机会。

This workshop brings together leading international researchers from Japan, United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom to discuss the stable and secure supply of energy as we head towards a low carbon society that is essential for sustainable development. The objective of the workshop is to discuss our collective research approaches and then develop collaborative efforts to formulate cooperative distributed energy management systems. The workshop will be held at the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel in Honolulu, HI on January 11-12, 2014. Intellectual Merit There is a pressing need around the world to change paradigms of how we both generate and use energy as we move to a more sustainable society considering solutions that require engineering, computational, environmental, policy, economic, and social science research and education. This proposal along with the support of the Japan Science and Technology (JST) Agency brings together a group of international researchers and educators in energy and sustainability to discuss these issues. The workshop will study a cooperative distributed energy management system that makes optimal control of energy generation and demand response.This workshop is unique as it will bring in distinguished US researchers to participate with Japanese researchers invited by JST along with researchers from Germany and the United Kingdom to discuss and form collaborations on cooperative distributive energy management systems. Topics of discussion include: renewable energy generation including solar and wind along with distributed generation and integration of renewable energy sources; communications, control, and computational aspects of the smart grid; storage options; demand response including load controls, demand side management, price controls, and consumer participation; and smart grid and smart community demonstration projects.Broader Impacts The workshop will bring in researchers from different countries to give different perspectives on developing a cooperative distributed energy management system. This will lead to multinational collaborative research and education efforts. This can lead to novel approaches to tackle energy and sustainability problems and also innovation and commercialization opportunities.
