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).
These new factors impact the practice of optimization. Following
SESO 2014
and
SESO 2015, the 3d International Thematic Week
Smart Energy and Stochastic Optimization (SESO 2016)
will take place in Paris from May 30 to June 3, 2016.
SESO 2016 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).
