DFG-JST-NSF-RCN Workshop on Distributed Energy Management, Heidelberg, Germany, May 23-25, 2016

最近，更多的可再生能源被部署和整合到电网中，加上一些国家关闭了核电站或从煤炭转向天然气，这给世界各地的电网带来了前所未有的压力。研讨会将探讨电网管理的新发展，以应对这些挑战。减少对化石燃料的依赖是实现可持续能源未来的任何有意义的方法的核心。令人鼓舞的是，近年来可再生能源发电增长迅速。在国际上，出于安全、国家安全和环境关切的原因，我们看到了类似的趋势。这些变化都对现有的输电基础设施提出了新的要求。德国和日本为迈向低碳未来制定了一些最积极的计划。在日本科学技术机构（JST）和德国研究基金会（DFG）的支持下，该研讨会将汇集来自地球仪的电力能源和可持续性方面的研究人员和教育工作者，讨论与这些变化有关的问题。讨论的主题包括AC/DC电力系统的设计和操作，包括开关，隔离和转换;控制系统的动态和谐波稳定性评估;电力电子器件，电路和系统;鲁棒性和生存能力;智能能源系统信息学，建模，仿真和测试台;行业应用;和跨国合作。研讨会将研究电力和可持续性的控制，通信，计算科学，环境和社会方面。

The recent deployment and integration of more renewable energy sources to the electric power grid coupled with the shutting down of nuclear units in some countries or switching over from coal to natural gas is placing unprecedented stresses on the power grids around the world. The workshop will investigate new developments in the management of power grid to address these challenges. An electricity supply less reliant on fossil fuels is central to any meaningful approach to a sustainable energy future. Encouragingly, renewable generation has grown rapidly in recent years. Internationally for reasons of safety, national security and environmental concern, we see similar trends. These changes all place new demands on the existing power transmission infrastructure. Germany and Japan have some of the most aggressive plans for moving to a low carbon future. This workshop with the support of the Japan Science and Technology (JST) Agency and the German Research Foundation (DFG) will bring together researchers and educators in electric energy and sustainability from across the globe to discuss relevant issues to these changes. Topics for discussion include design and operation of AC/DC power system including switching, isolation, and conversion; dynamic and harmonic stability assessment of control systems; power electronic devices, circuits and systems; robustness and survivability; smart energy systems informatics, modeling, simulation and test beds; industry applications; and multinational collaborations. The workshop will examine control, communications, computational science, environmental, and social aspects of electric power and sustainability.
