Centennial Problems in Self-Organization and Smart Grids - Group I

  • What would be appropriate metrics to convince (ourselves and) the industry (system operators and utilities) that SO mechanims perform good in stability?
  • Plug‘n Play for smart appliances
  • SO infrastructure services:
    • Distributed topology detection
    • Distributed aggregation hierarchy establishment
  • SO is often on local simple rules for complex systems – can this be applied to power system components?
  • What are the relevant positive and negative feedback mechanisms in power systems that could be exploited in the design of SO systems in that area?
  • What about self-similarity?
  • Categories of SO mechanisms?
  • Border between market - SO and regulation – SO?


Centennial Problems in Self-Organization and Smart Grids - Group II

(Team Members: Dr. Wilfried Elmenreich, Dr. Anita Sobe, Rosemarie Velik, István Fehérvári, Sven Bohn)

1. Incorporation of other supply aspects (Gas, Water, Heat, Telecommunication)
2. Search for new types of energy generation (fusion?) and transmission (super conductivity, beaming?)
3. New modeling of energy, communication, optimization, management
4. Self-organizing algorithms (self-configuration, self-healing, self-coordination, agreement, synchronization)
5. Grid stability
6. Artificial Intelligence that makes sound decisions
7. Smooth transition from a centralized grid to a decentralized grid (How will it look like. How will it be realized)
8. Sensor networks for Smart Grids
9. Evaluation of Testing Methods
10. Energy storage (new storage technologies?)
11. New ways of social/economic modeling
12. Energy reducing technologies
13. New of regulatory framework
14. Environmental issues of power production
15. Bottom up integration of Smart Homes
16. Funded applied research on distributed self-organized Communication, Processing and Optimization
