SGMS 2011 - 2011 IEEE First International Workshop on Smart Grid Modeling and Simulation (SGMS)

To meet the enormous challenge of creating the sustainable energy infrastructure of the future, driven by a 'Smart Grid', researchers and practitioners need quantitatively to investigate the complex interactions between different components of the electricity grid and evaluate the impact of new ideas and technologies, taking into consideration interdependencies between markets, power flows and information & communication networks. To help with this need for a quantitative understanding of the grid, there is an unprecedented need for (near) real-time visibility into the state of the grid and loads with volumes of data being collected from smart meters and other sensing devices being added to the grid.

The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid Communications (SmartGridComm) is organizing a one day workshop on modeling and simulation of the Smart Grid on October 17, 2011. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from Academia, Industry, and National Labs to exchange research ideas and practical experiences in developing and using simulation and modeling software to understand the interactions of the smart grid.
