PES GM 2022 – 25 July 2022<\/strong><\/h4>\n

CENERGETIC has participated in the last IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting (IEEE PES GM 2022) held in Denver, Colorado, USA, during 17-21 July. Doctor Jo\u00e3o Soares and Professor Zita Vale attended the event and several meetings where researchers of this project have been involved or responsible, including the Working Group on Intelligent Data Mining Analysis (IDMA – https:\/\/site.ieee.org\/psace-idma\/) and the Taskforce on the Open Datasets (https:\/\/site.ieee.org\/psace-ods\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Two panels organized by the IDMA working group, currently chaired by Zita Vale, took place at the event, namely the Panel \u201cBenchmarking of Artificial Intelligence Methods for Energy Generation and Consumption Forecasting\u201d chaired by Professor Zita Vale, and the Panel \u201cArtificial intelligence approaches for energy management in rural and urban energy communities\u201d chaired by Jo\u00e3o Soares. Those panels led to interesting and fruitful discussions between the audience and the panelist members.<\/p>\n

In addition, Professor Zita Vale delivered an interesting speech on the Panel \u201cPerformance Evaluation Metrics for Artificial Intelligence and Traditional Approaches in Modern Power Systems\u201d, with the talk \u201cTrustful Artificial Intelligence based solutions for Power and Energy: Evaluation Metrics and Explainability\u201d.<\/p>\n

GECCO 2022 – 25 July 2022<\/strong><\/h4>\n

CENERGETIC has participated in the last Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2022) held in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, during July 9-13. Doctor Jo\u00e3o Soares and Professor Zita Vale attended the event being committed to announce the winner of the competition on Evolutionary Computation in the Energy Domain: Risk-based Energy Scheduling at the competition session. This was the 6th<\/sup> edition of a series of smart grids competitions that have been organized by Jo\u00e3o Soares and his peers in top-tier international conferences such as GECCO and CEC since 2017 (http:\/\/www.gecad.isep.ipp.pt\/smartgridcompetitions\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In addition, during the congress a paper was presented at the Evolutionary Computation and Decision Making (EC+DM) workshop, titled \u201cPreliminary Results of Advanced Heuristic Optimization in the Risk-based Energy Scheduling Competition\u201d (the full paper can be access at https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/10.1145\/3520304.3535080<\/a> and https:\/\/zenodo.org\/record\/6867839<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Web MetaERM launch – 29 June 2022<\/h4>\n

MetaERM is a web-based platform that allows users to use several case studies and meta-heuristic algorithms to perform simulations related to smart grids. It is currently available on GECAD’s servers for testing and internal use. However, as the application develops it may also be used for educational purposes or even for use in related competitions. MetaERM is available at https:\/\/www.gecad.isep.ipp.pt\/Meta-ERM\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CENERGETIC Project Workshop – GECAD Energy Projects Event 2022 – 27 April 2022<\/h4>\n

On the 26th-27th of April 2022, GECAD organized an event \u201cGECAD Energy Projects Event 2022\u201d under the scope of ongoing projects. The event was held at ISEP and counted with the participation of not only GECAD’s researchers but also external participants such as UNESP from Brazil.
\nThe CENERGETIC team overviewed the project’s developments, giving special focus on the latest achievements, and discussed future research directions in this event. The workshop included a papers session, discussion session and Q&A session to discuss with the audience about the project’s outcomes of CENERGETIC results. The main aim of the workshop was to discuss the problems, and challenges of improving the integration of renewable energy resources and electric vehicles (EVs) in smart grids.<\/p>\n

Operation of Distribution Systems with High Participation of Distributed Energy Resources Workshop – 28\/01-28\/02, 2022<\/h4>\n

The mission had as its purpose the interaction and face-to-face visit with the partner of the CENERGETIC project in Brazil, UNESP. The aim was to consolidate and strengthen the research and development relationship with the partner, as well as in the fulfillment of the objectives of the project.<\/p>\n

On this visit there was interaction with researchers from LaPSEE. A workshop was held on the 11th of February with around 50-60 participants entitled \u201cOperation of Distribution Systems with High Participation of Distributed Energy Resources\u201d. For more information check here.<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to the preparation of the workshop, several working meetings were held on technical-scientific issues of the project. The possibility of continuing with the mobility of researchers, PhD students from UNESP (Ilha Solteira) to GECAD\/ISEP, was discussed, with 3 mobilities already planned in the future in line with the project of PhD students.<\/p>\n
