Zuse Institute Berlin

Last week, Stephanie Riedmüller and I from the Applied Algorithmic Intelligence Methods Department at ZIB Zuse Institute Berlin had the pleasure of participating in ECOS2024 - 37th International Conference on Efficiency, Cost, Optimization, Simulation & Environment in Rhodes, Greece, where we presented our algorithmic solutions to energy system problems. 🔎 Showcasing Cutting-Edge Research: We showcased results from our recent research projects, proposing methods that enable the solution of large, complex models under uncertainty and with conflicting objectives: ✔ Stephanie Riedmüller demonstrated the coordination of three objectives in unit-commitment for the most complex western European district heating network using a fixed-grid epsilon constraint algorithm for an overview and a dynamic variant to delve deeper into specific parts of the feasible space, analyzing optimal trade-offs (joint work with Christoph Koch and his team at BEW Berliner Energie und Wärme AG at the #ResearchCampus #MODAL). ✔ I presented how the computational effort for parametric uncertainty studies on cost parameters in LP formulations of energy systems can be greatly reduced through LP sensitivity analyses and warm starting procedures. Along with smart data visualization methods, these techniques enable communities to explore how cost sensitivities affect the optimal choice of capacities for different technologies (joint work with Reiner Lemoine Institut gGmbH in the project Stadt-Land-Energie). 📚 Open Access Contributions: Our contributions to the conference proceedings will soon be available as open access. 🌅 Beyond the Conference: Beyond the insightful presentations and engaging discussions, we had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the rich culture and stunning landscapes of Rhodes. From savoring delicious Greek cuisine to exploring historic sites and enjoying the vibrant local atmosphere, our time in Rhodes was both professionally enriching and personally rewarding. We also forged new connections and laid the groundwork for future collaborations. Thanks, #ECOS2024, for another inspiring week! Thanks Sotirios Karellas and his team for the organization of this exciting week!
