Description

Energy systems have evolved from small, local, single-service systems into highly integrated and complex continental systems that deliver energy services. Co-ordination and control across large geographic areas are needed for utilization, harvesting and distribution of available energy sources including renewable energy from high-resource areas to low re-source areas. Furthermore, integration is also increasing between the energy systems and other systems such as data and information networks. The combination of low-cost monitoring, control and the integration of data and information networks with the energy system is enabling development of advanced circuits, control and coordination across the energy pathways and scales. Building large-scale infrastructure is increasingly difficult in many parts of the world, and technology improvements are simultaneously driving growth in local generation. There is a need to optimally integrate and control these resources across multiple scales from the local level to the global energy system.

As a result, many factors that drive the transformation of a cleaner, and more intelligent energy infrastructure are resulting in an increasingly complex electric grids that requires convergence and integration of various disciplines to have optimized and efficient energy systems.

• Energy Harvesting
• Renewable Energy Sources and Applications
• Integration of Renewable Energy
• Network Systems for Energy Systems
