Methods for Energy System Planning Under Uncertainty

The Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences, the UK Energy Research Centre, the Centre for Energy Systems Integration, Supergen Hubnet and Durham Energy Institute are organising a workshop on "Methods for energy system planning under uncertainty" on Wednesday 14 December at the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences in Edinburgh. This will start at 1000 (tea/coffee from 0930) and finish at 1700.

The main target audience is early career researchers in energy systems. We hope it will also be of interest also to more experienced researchers who wish to learn new techniques, analysts in industry and government who are interested in decision making under uncertainty, and researchers in other applied disciplines who wish to learn more about the technical methods presented.

Speakers will include:

• Statistical uncertainty quantification:
• Michael Goldstein (Durham University)
• Amy Wilson (University of Edinburgh)
• Efficient computational optimisation approaches:
• Ken McKinnon/Andreas Grothey (University of Edinburgh)
• Additional speaker tbc
• Decision support:
• Stan Zachary (Heriot-Watt University) on decision criteria
• Kevin Wilson (Newcastle University) on expert elicitation

The day will finish with a networking poster session including a wine reception, giving an opportunity to develop new contacts and potential collaborations.

Registration

There will be a registration fee of £35 to cover the cost of lunch and refreshments through the day.

To register, please fill in the form here - payment is by credit card.

If the number of paid registrations is large we might be able to waive the fee for a small number of students on receipt of a need case. For more details please contact Dr. Chris Dent, lead organiser, at chris.dent@ed.ac.uk
