[NOVA Math] Seminar of Data Science

The Center of Mathematics and Applications (NOVA Math), promote the Course of Data Science with the title: “Optimization Models for Unit Commitment in Electric Energy Systems”. Miguel F. Anjos (University of Edinburgh) is the speaker.

Abstract: A smart grid is the combination of a traditional electrical power system with information and energy both flowing back and forth between suppliers and consumers. This new paradigm introduces major challenges such as the integration of decentralized energy generation, the increase of electric transportation, and the need for electricity consumers to play an active role in the operations of the grid. This presentation will overview the changes completed or in progress in several countries, present some recent research on mathematical optimization models to better understand and support the adoption of electric vehicles, and conclude with a summary of the opportunities for optimization to contribute to the future success of smart grids.
