10th Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems

Online event held on May 3, 2022

The workshop will be held as part of the Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet-of-Things Week, May 3-6, 2022

Technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society

Workshop chairs:

Peter Palensky (TU Delft, The Netherlands)
Anurag Srivastava (West Virginia University, USA)

Announcement

Despite all efforts of the organizing committee, it is not possible to hold CPS-IoT Week as a hybrid event, as originally planned. CPS-IoT Week will therefore take place as a virtual event. Detailed information, including registration options, are available on the website of CPS-IoT Week.

Scope

Automation and digitalization have become important topics in the energy sector in recent years, as modern energy systems increasingly rely on communication and information technology to combine smart controls with hardware infrastructure. With the emergence of cyber–physical systems (CPS) as a transdisciplinary field, such modern energy systems can be classified as cyber–physical energy systems (CPES), integrating the related research and development within a broader scope.
An important aspect of the research and development related to CPS is to bridge the gap between the traditional engineering domains and computer science. This is especially true for CPES, where the related engineering domains have in the past come up with proven and reliable methods for designing even large and complex systems. However, existing modeling and simulation tools still struggle to cover all aspects of CPES. Hence, a combination of universal modeling languages and established, domain-specific tools (like grid simulators and telecommunication simulators) is necessary. New methods, tools and algorithms are needed that are compact, computationally inexpensive, potentially self-organizing and intrinsically stable if applied to real energy systems.

During the workshop, a dedicated session for demos is foreseen. We encourage tool developers (with industrial as well as academic background) to apply for a slot in this session. Please contact the workshop organizers to get in touch.

This workshop brings together researchers and industrialists to exchange ideas and newest research results on the following (not exhaustive) list of topics:

Hybrid modeling and simulation
Co-Simulation of multi-domain systems
Ontologies for CPES
Applications of CPES
Distributed algorithms and control
Formal languages for CPES
Smart Grid and Smart Cities modeling
Design of simulations/experiments for CPES
Data generation using CPES simulation for big data analytics

Workshop Schedule

2:00 PM	9:00 PM	7:00 AM	Opening
2:10 PM	9:10 PM	7:10 AM	Keynote by Florent Xavier (RTE France) Digitalization needs an acceleration to facilitate an evolution towards an integrated energy system to reach Carbon neutral Europe in 2050: further RES integration, H2, Power to X, electrical vehicles, flexibility, automaton, etc. with an increasing level of EU interconnections. RTE, the French TSO, defined a new R&D program last year to answer to these evolutions. The necessity of multi-partner and open source collaborations is highlighted because system planning, system operation and system stability in an interconnected system need a common work between different sectors and TSO, DSO, academics... A focus on system operation will be done and particularly on the principles behind the open source tool Dynawo.
