Proceedings for the 2013 Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems (MSCPES) Berkeley are available

The Proceedings for the 2013 Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems (MSCPES), held at Berkeley on May 20, 2013, are now available from IEEE Explore
The scope of the workshop was:

Modern energy systems combine information technology, electrical and thermal infrastructure, autonomous roles and interact with other systems like markets and regulations. Existing modeling and simulation tools are not capable to cover such systems in all of their aspects, new languages, methods and tools are necessary. A combination of universal modeling languages like Modelica and established, specialized tools like grid simulators and telecommunication simulators is necessary. This leads to modeling and co-simulating hybrid systems where for instance a multi-agent framework and an electric grid simulator are combined to investigate smart electric vehicle charging algorithms. It is especially the potential size of such systems that constitute a challenge for modeling and simulation. Implementing these future CPS are another substantial challenge. The designed algorithms need to be compact, computationally inexpensive, potentially self-organizing and intrinsically stable if applied to real energy systems. New methods and alternative ways are necessary to overcome these challenges.
