Energy transition is currently a major challenge. It raises political, scial and technical issues that include: understanding possible future energy systems, building prospective, adressing political and social questions, intermittency mitigation, grid management, infrastructure investment, uncertainties due to the supply of critical raw materials, environmental and trade policies, and so on. These challenges are associated with increased complexity in terms of modeling and simulation, raising new methodological and mathematical questions. The aim of these school and workshop is to raise mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists awareness of the new research topics brought about by the energy transition. Conversely, it will also be the perfect place for researchers focusing on the energy transition to set out the challenges they face in terms of mathematical approaches and tools.
The meeting will take from September 30, 2024 to October 4, 2024 at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris. During the first three days, a school will provide an overview of mathematical and theoretical tools related to the physical and socio-economic modeling of energy systems. It will also link these tools to research issues on major prospective questions for energy transitions. We expect a large audience of researchers, specialists of the subjects, and of colleagues which are not specialists of the subject, for instance coming from theoretical sciences (mathematics, physics, computer sciences, machine learning) interested in learning the basic aspects of the subject. During the last two days, a research workshop will follow. The workshop will address contemporary research in the physical and socio-economic modeling of the energy systems and related resources issues. When relevant, it will focus on mathematical and theoretical tools which are useful for this modeling.
Registration to both events is free but mandatory.
Participants can apply for giving short contributed talks.
If you are interested to follow the lectures or the workshop online, please register to the meeting. We will then send you visioconference information before the start of the meetings.
Deadline for registration to both events for onsite participation: September 10, 2024. In case we reach the capacity limits for the number of participants before the deadline, participants will be accepted based on their registration date. Registration for online participation will be opened up to the last day before the meeting.
