Effective
demand side energy management through small scale consumer modelling:
Theory, tools and pilot cases.
In conjunction with the 10th International Conference
on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE-2013)
Sept. 11-13, 2013 (http://conferences.computer.org/icebe/2013/index.htm)
Aim and Scope
The goal of the first CASSANDRA
workshop is to present the results of ongoing research, development and
evaluation of the CASSANDRA project and interact with potential users and
illustrate how different stakeholders of the energy market can benefit from the
CASSANDRA open source decision support platform.
CASSANDRA is a research project that develops a platform for the
realistic modelling of the energy market
stakeholders, also involving small-scale consumers. CASSANDRA provides users
with the ability to test and benchmark working scenarios that can affect system
operation and company/environmental policies at different levels of
abstraction, starting from a basic level (single consumer) and shifting up to
large consumer areas and segments of the power system.
The
workshop will consist of three parts:
Part I – Cassandra Presentation
·
Presentation
of the basic theoretical concepts and modelling
aspects of the platform
·
Outline
of the platform’s operation and main features
Part II – Interaction with Users
Interaction
and presentations with members of the CASSANDRA Network of Interest, currently
consisting of a diverse group of organisations active
in the energy market, from technology and metering solutions providers, to
utilities, aggregators and policy makers. Members of the CASSANDRA NoI
will demonstrate their business cases and the accomplished or potential
benefits from using the CASSANDRA modelling platform.
Part III – Platform Demonstration
and Pilot Cases
·
Demonstration
of the platform
·
CASSANDRA is financed by the Seventh Framework
Research Programme of the European Commission (FP7)
