- Smart Energy Cyber-Physical Systems: Big Data Analytics and Cyber Security
Shiyan Hu, Michigan Technological University, USA
Abstract:A smart energy cyber-physical system is characterized by the interactions among the sensing devices and the physical energy system. Big data analytics techniques can be leveraged to improve the situational awareness of the energy system. However, how to decide whether the sensor data are trustworthy and how to assess the system state even if those data contain uncertainties are quite challenging. In this talk, I will describe a systematic framework, which is based on partially observable Markov decision process, orthogonal matching pursuit, and empirical mode decomposition, to detect anomaly energy usage behavior through analyzing the massive smart meter data in a community. I will also discuss how this framework can be used for detecting smart grid cyber attacks such as energy theft. I will conclude the talk with some of the ongoing research in this topic.

- Energy Internet and Integrated Planning of Electricity and Natural Gas Systems
Zhaohong BIE, School of Electrical Engineering, Xi’an Jiaotong University
Abstract:All over the world, Energy Internet has emerged as a new trend that promises to transform the future energy system. Numerous researches have been devoted to the study of the Energy Internet. On the aspect of energy transmission, the power network and the natural gas network are the main transmission elements in the Energy Internet, and are coupled through gas-fired units. Under this background, the integrated panning of the two systems would have potential economic as well as environmental benefits, and this topic has received increasing attentions in recent years. However, the major difficulty of electricity and natural gas systems planning method lies in the modeling of the natural gas system, which is a non-linear nonconvex model, in contrary to the linear DC power flow model used for the power network. We propose anincremental piecewise linear method to convert the originalmodel into a large-scale mixed-integer linear optimizationproblem, allowing the use of sophisticated mathematicaloptimization method to quickly obtain the optimal solution. Finally, the proposed method can get the installation capacity,location and time for the candidate generating units,transmission lines and gas pipelines. The proposed planning method can reach a trade-off between the modeling precision and the computational burden, and laid the foundation for the future research on stochastic co-optimization of natural gas network and electricity network and the risk evaluation.

- The Evolution of Information Technology and its Impact on Real-life Applications
Fulu LI, Tsinghua University, China
Abstract:
In this talk, we will touch on the evolution of information technology and its great impact on a wide range of real-life applications. From Albert Einstein 's evaluation on the development of western science to the creation of information theory and the founding of digital communication by late MIT professor Claude Shannon, from the father of computer science Alan M. Turing to the creation of World Wide Web by this year's Turing award winner MIT professor Tim Bernard-Lee, from the birth of artificial intelligence in 1956 to the frantic resurgence of deep learning at virtually every corner of the world, we dwell on the great impact and the rich implications of information technology in a variety of areas. Through the analysis of some real-life examples of ubiquitous sensing, image processing and community coding, we are readily embracing the ups and downs of the technology wave, which are already the fabrics of people 's daily lives.

Contact: Qiuye Sun, Northeastern University, China
Establishing low-carbon, efficient, safe and sustainable energy utilization mode
to meet national economic and social development and environmental requirements is an important issue
that should be solved urgently in China. From the perspective of energy source import, it's imperative
to develop from traditional single energy structure to multi-energy structure containing a variety of energy structures.
However, development of multi-energy system is facing unprecedented challenges that mainly stemming from increasing physical entities
inside multi-energy system, addition of multi-energy transmission media and improvement inpermeability of renewable energy sources
as well as utilization of many cyber-physical fusion technology. Consequently, resulted problems like more sophisticated system variables,
more modals, stronger composition, higher dimension of schedule optimization, increasing network hidden security troubles
as well as stronger discontinuity and uncertainty, etc., enhance difficulties in modelling and optimizing control on multi-energy system,
restrict development of multi-energy system and bring a challenge to the existing advanced control theory.
Energy Internet as a multi-energy system with the largest coverage reflects features like non-linearity,
random, multi-source big data and multi-scale dynamic, etc. A research emphasis and difficulty problem in Energy Internet
is how to realize partial and global stability as well as optimum regulation of Energy Internet under acertain goal constraint
through proposing effective and reasonable intelligent control methods.
Now, it is absolutely required for making a significant breakthrough on modeling and optimization control technology
under the background of Energy Internet, so as to use new theory, new method and new technology to solve the present problems.
Of which, problems like Energy Internet modeling and related Internet communication technology and system safety analysis,
energy optimization of Energy Internet, control theory research on energy optimization, conversion and configuration,
fault diagnosis and self-cure control research on Energy Internet, basic equipment research and hardware design on
Energy Internet and new market trade mechanism and bidding strategy research, etc. are expected to become the research highlights.
Discussion and research on these problems can play an important role in impelling settlement of the emphases and difficulties
mentioned above in the field of Energy Internet. Thus, this workshop aims at timely dissemination of research in these areas.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
● Architecture and basic theory of Energy Internet
● Planning, designing and operation of Energy Internet

- Advanced Wireless Communication and Networking for Energy Internet
Organizer: Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications
Contact: Zhaoming Lu, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China
While traditional automation of the power grid makes use of wireline communications (copper, fiber),
Energy Internet requires wide-area coverage with flexible and cost-efficient communications networks.
Therefore, wireless communication and networking technologies will play an increasingly important role in future deployment scenarios.
The investigated options range from 5G networks over satellite systems to wireless mesh networks.
Particular challenges for wireless communication options include availability (with coverage down to the basement),
real-time capabilities (for incident mitigation), resilience (after black-outs, against jamming, etc.)
and security (cyber-attacks). In the light of these recent developments,
this workshop will focus on the following subjects of interest, as well as related issues:
● Architecture, performance and network planning of wireless networks for Energy Internet
● Resilient and low-latency wireless communication for Energy Internet
● Wireless networks for distributed generations
● Comparison of networking options for Smart Grids: e.g. wireline vs. wireless, mesh vs. cellular, satellite vs. terrestrial
● Energy Internet protocols (e.g. SCADA, WAMPAC) adapted to wireless networks
● Energy Internet specific wireless communication traffic models and channel models
● Low latency and high reliability technologies (e.g. M2M control and communications, mobile edge computing) in 5G
● New communication protocols and the exploitation of NFV/SDN for better communication and networking
● LPWAN communication and networking technologies (e.g. LoRa, Sigfox)
● Security and privacy concerns in wireless communication and networking for Energy Internet
