SIAM Conference on Computational Science & Engineering (CS&E) held at the Westin Waterfront Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts between Feb 25 and March 1 catalysts collaboration and interaction among applied mathematicians, computer scientists, domain scientists and engineers in those areas of research related to the theory, development, and use of computational technologies for the solution of important problems in science and engineering.
M2ACS sponsors a three-session mini-symposium at CS&E under the theme
“Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Complex Energy Systems“.
Abstract:
The production, distribution, storage, and use of energy is undergoing significant changes. Demand and production patterns are being radically altered by the advent of “smart grids,” renewable generation, and storage technologies, and by new regulatory constraints, resulting in energy systems with sharply increased complexity that need to be modeled, simulated, and optimized. In these sessions we focus on the latest mathematics and scalable algorithms for the simulation and optimization of real-world, stochastic energy systems and the large-scale network properties of them.
