Energy companies witness a rapidly changing landscape:
increase of intermittent, variable and spatially distributed
power sources (wind, sun);
expansion of markets and actors at all spatial and temporal scales;
penetration of telecom technologies (smart grids).
Those new factors impact the practice of optimization.
Following
SESO 2014, the 2d International Thematic Week
Smart Energy and Stochastic Optimization (SESO 2015)
will take place in Paris from June 22 to 26, 2015.
SESO 2015 will be devoted to stochastic optimization,
decentralized optimization and
their applications to the management of new energy systems.
The Week alternates courses, tutorials, scientific workshops
and an industry day;
it is aimed at a mixed public, in academy and in industry.
The academic organizers are ENSTA ParisTech and École des Ponts ParisTech,
with the financial support of the Gaspard Monge Program for Optimization
and operations research (PGMO).
This academic day is devoted to advances in
coordination between statistics and optimization,
with the goal of solving stochastic optimization problems.
