2023 Expert Workshop on Design and Operation of Digitalized Sector-Coupled Energy Systems (DigiSect 2023)

Overview

The aim of the workshop is to bring together experts from Europe to exchange insights and to create a roadmap on possible trends and research directions for operation, control and digitalization in sector-coupled energy systems and sector integration.

Workshop contributions will be attributed to the following thematic clusters:

• Cluster 1 – System architecture and operation strategies: focus on applications and best practices for sector coupling and sector integration both on system-level and on component-level, including pilot sites, energy communities, innovative technologies, markets & regulation, etc.
• Cluster 2 – Automation and Digitalization Technologies: focus on digital technologies enabling sector coupling and sector integration, including artificial intelligence, digital twins, IoT and communication, cyber security, simulation, etc.
