Track 35: Energy and Environment
There are currently two major topics in the energy industry: On the one hand there is the energy management with its challenging tasks in controlling facilities and power grids, on the other hand there is the IT with its complex, distributed software systems for measuring and controlling. Both are connected to each other closely for assuring a reliable supply of energy and heat. Two major influences increasingly change the market and its value chain: Liberalisation of the energy market, which is particularly forced by European regulation ("legal unbundling") and gains importance, and an even greater impact through political decisions for increasing decentralized, regenerative power generation in order to succeed in meeting the political aims regarding the climate change like e. g. through CO2-reduction. These accelerating changes have strong influences on the market participants and their IT infrastructure. There is a need for understanding the complex environmental cause-effect relationships for giving prognosis of future development and recommendations for further activities for both the political and economical sector. For a sustainable development of the society there is also a need for developing and evaluation of long-term ecological models. On their basis it is possible to make empirical assured decisions that have influences on the future development of the environment.
Possible topics:
- market and planning models for the energy industry
- integration and resource planning of decentralized power plants
- capacity and energy resource planning, planning of power plant usage and its optimization
- standards and data models in the power industry
- efficiency of resource use and integration of consumers
- IT support and reference models for informational unbundling
- ecological modeling and simulation for detecting cause
- effect relationships in the environment
