SUMMARY:Seminar: Smart Grids and Optimization - A Winning Combination
DESCRIPTION:Title: Smart Grids and Optimization – A Winning Combination\nSpeaker: Prof. Miguel Anjos\nAffiliation: Polytechnique Montreal\nLocation: Room 217 Huxley Building\nTime: 1:30pm (1 hour) \nAbstract. 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 intermittent generation and storage\, and the need for electricity consumers to play an active role in the operations of the system. We will summarize the opportunities provided by smart grid to the optimization community\, and illustrate one such opportunity through some recent research on optimal aggregation of energy resources (joint work with F. Gilbert\, P. Marcotte\, and G. Savard). \nAbout the speaker. Miguel Anjos is a Professor at Polytechnique Montreal. He holds a Canada Research Chair and an Inria International Chair. He is also a licensed professional engineer in Ontario\, Canada. His research is concerned with using mathematical optimization to provide guaranteed optimal or near-optimal solutions for important classes of large-scale discrete nonlinear optimization problems arising in engineering applications.
