DISC Summer School 2023 - Control of Power and Energy Systems

Control of Power and Energy Systems

Control is ubiquitous in modern power and energy systems across virtually all time scales and system sizes, from high efficiency multi-level power electronics to power generation and storage in smart power grids, as well as to coordination mechanisms in day-ahead and intra-day energy markets.
