Workshop on optimisation of demand flexibility

Korraldame matemaatika ja statistika instituudis töötuba, mis käsitleb energeetika ja optimiseerimise teemasid. Üritus on tasuta ning toimub inglise keeles. Täiendavat infot leiab allolevas inglise keelsest tekstist.

We are organising a workshop on “Demand flexibility in the electrical power sector”. The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the concept of demand flexibility, and how it can be used to stabilise grids, to reduce cost, and to reduce emissions. It is geared towards those with an interest in power grids and in energy markets or in applied mathematical optimization.

Seminar Details

Led by Dr. Jorn Baayen (LinkedIn profile), an expert in the field and leader of the demand flex architecture team at a large multinational energy company, the seminar promises engaging sessions and hands-on workshops. The course is free of charge and after completion of two workshop days and completing the project, there is an opportunity to receive a course certificate equivalent to 3 ECTS.
