2024 IEEE International Conference on Communications, Control, and Computing Technologies for Smart Grids (SmartGridComm) – Workshop on Optimal and Green Operation of Multi-energy Smart Grids
CALL FOR PAPERS
Currently, countries are facilitating a more economic and carbon-free future with the development of renewables and hydrogen technologies. Thus, green multi-energy smart grids, which are capable of managing, monitoring, and controlling multiple types of energy sources and loads within a localized region, are fast developing. A green multi-energy smart grid has distributed energy resources, energy conversion units, and local multi-energy loads. The key objective is to coordinate multiple energy carriers (electricity, thermal energy, hydrogen, etc.) for the smooth, safe, and efficient delivery of energy services. Besides having academic value, the project is highly suitable for business cases as countries worldwide are building low-carbon projects. For example, Nordic countries like Finland, and Denmark, and Asian countries like China, Korea, and Japan are also facilitating new smart grid projects to reduce costs and emissions.
This workshop aims to provide a platform for researchers all over the world to share their recent findings and insights on the operation of green multi-energy smart grids. Through facilitating collaboration and sharing of research works, this workshop intends to accelerate energy management, algorithm development, and market design, and ultimately contribute to the effective coordination of multi-energy flows in smart grids.
