Scope and Motivation
This symposium is focused on large-scale data management, analytics, and dynamic pricing to operate large-scale electricity transmission and distribution networks and to manage the associated electricity marketplaces which also span generation and demand, or large and distributed installations such as multi-homed data centers. In power engineering, big-data analytics are required to process data from numerous and spatially diffuse PMUs and/or smart-meters. Such analytics require communications, storage and computational systems that are suitable for speedy, secure, and reliable processing. Big data can be used to establish a “dynamic price” that is broadcasted to consumers to elicit load responsiveness to improve the efficiency, flexibility, and cost of operating power systemsTopics of Particular Interest
This symposium focuses on, but it is not limited to, the following aspects:· Data management strategies:
- hierarchical strategies for wide-area monitoring and visualization- system-state estimation
- innovative use of cloud architectures
- reliable and privacy-preserving storage and communication of large data quantities from diffuse sources
· Analytics:
- "big data" issues- machine learning
- privacy-preserving analytics
- semantic techniques
- real-time data analysis and decision making
· Application of data management and analytics:
- power-grid transmission and distribution management- electricity marketplace
- exploitation of intermittently available renewables in economically sensible fashion (considering ramp-up/down costs and dynamics of legacy supply)
- demand aggregation
- managing future electric vehicle demand at scale
- managing smart buildings/houses at scale
- advanced metering infrastructure/smart meters
- phasor measurement units (PMUs)
- data centers
- load forecasting and price forecasting
- weather forecasting
- asset management
- demand response
- social media data integration for utility applications
- case studies
· Dynamic pricing
-Empirical analysis of pricing/control mechanisms for demand side management-Modeling residential, commercial, and industrial consumer behavior
-Aggregation frameworks and mechanism design
-Smart grid services provided by demand side resources
-The investment and pricing of renewable energy sources
-Market impact on smart grid performance (e.g., retail competition, dynamic pricing & demand response, impact of wholesale market competition)
-Generation, load, and price forecasting in deregulated markets
-Virtual power plants
