CISG 2013 - Special Session on Computational Intelligence Techniques for Smart Grids Control and Management

The limited availability of energy resources related to environmental and economic factors has made a radical change in the way of understanding the distribution and consumption of energy. This new environment will lead to critical challenges to electric energy security, reliability, and sustainability in smart grids and micro-grids contexts. This focused session will elaborate on the applications of computational intelligence (CI) in planning, implementation, management, control, and optimization of smart grids and micro-grids with the aim of improving the electric energy security, reliability, and sustainability, as well as the efficiency.
The topics covered in this focused session - but not limited to:
? Computational Intelligence algorithms for smart grids control and optimization ? Pattern recognition system design in smart grids ? Condition monitoring, fault diagnostics, and prognostics ? Load/price forecasting and power marketing ? Power system stability and control ? Security issues in smart grids ? Micro-grid modeling, dynamics, and hierarchical control ? Battery management issues.
