Workshop: Rethinking Modeling, Simulations and Control for the Changing Electric Energy Industry

The main objective of this three-day workshop is to discuss modeling and simulation methods for the changing electric energy industry, with a particular emphasis on their use for “smart” cyber design. This is timely because most of the modeling and simulation tools in current use are loaded with hidden assumptions that may no longer be valid. For example, they typically cannot capture end-to-end system effects of emerging technologies and their impact on customer behavior and long-term system evolution. It is thus necessary to introduce a unified modeling and simulation framework that can support integration of new technologies and evolving end user needs.
