OSMSES 2023: 2nd International workshop on "Open Source Modelling and Simulation of Energy Systems" E.ON Energy Research Center, RWTH Aachen University Aachen, Germany, March 27-29, 2023

Simulation is an essential tool to tackle the complexity of modern energy systems and to define effective solutions to plan, design and operate energy systems. Energy systems are expected to incorporate electrical, gas and heat networks – to achieve maximum usage of every form of energy available – and include storage capacity. The distributed nature of new resources (generation and storage) and the participation of loads in energy management require fast, reactive control and protection. In this context, the monitoring and control of modern energy systems are expected to be characterized by the distribution of functions. At the same time, large use of communication media is envisioned. Interactions between continuous dynamics and discrete events are becoming more relevant due to the increasing number of controllable devices (e.g., power electronic converters in the electrical grids) and the use of networked control schemes. Energy systems, furthermore, are increasingly driven by market competition, and its effect on system operation should also be considered. In this context, several research groups have been developing modelling and simulation solutions to tackle those challenges and they have been distributing their software following an open source approach. The workshop deals with all the aspects related to the use and development of open source tools for the modelling and simulation of power and energy systems. The main goal of the workshop is to encourage discussion on these topics among experts coming from academia, industry and utilities.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Prospective authors should submit a 5-6 pages FULL PAPER, consisting of a complete description of the proposed technical content and applicable research results, using the on-line submission system. After the review process, the decision could be: acceptance, minor revision or rejection. In case of revision, papers will be accepted only upon condition that the changes requested by the Reviewers are satisfactorily addressed by the Authors in the final submitted papers, which will be checked by the Technical Program Committee. Final papers may be rejected if the Reviewers’ remarks have not been properly addressed. A submission implies willingness to register and present the work if the paper is accepted for presentation at the workshop.
