AIMS AND SCOPE
For the 11th time, the doctoral workshop Energy Informatics discusses the role of ICT and computer science in future energy systems. The energy transition (Energiewende) – a politically supervised and accelerated shift in direction from nuclear and fossil fuels to sustainable sources of energy – yields drastic changes in the operation of existing energy supply and demand systems and requires a paradigm shift in both their planning and operation. The technological aspects as well as the involvement of consumers play a crucial role in the necessary transformation process. Hence, not only the development, evaluation and application of new technologies and methods but also the complex interactions between them and with their users have to be investigated. These challenges are not limited to the domain of electric power and include electricity, mobility, gas, and heat supply systems.
The workshop Energy Informatics 2020 invites doctoral students whose research focuses on the intersection of informatics, power engineering, and energy economics. This workshop presents an opportunity for doctoral students to discuss their current work – ranging from preliminary ideas to project/thesis results – with researchers from within the same community. Hence, long papers, project descriptions, and progress reports in the form of short papers are welcome. Former participants of the workshop may be accepted for presentation of significant progress in their doctoral project and should state clearly the progress compared to earlier submissions.
The workshop is organized separately and has own deadlines due to the shepherding process. For details and dates see the website of the workshop.
