Description:

Intelligent Energy Systems (IES) have as a goal to use all kind of energy resources in an intelligent way. This includes a wide set of activity sectors (generation, transmission, distribution and utilization) and involved players. Issues addressed in this context include concepts as renewable sources, energy efficiency and management but also intelligent operation in all energy related activities, adequately supported by decision-support systems, based on the required technologies. In fact, IES are currently related with intelligent behaviour and adequate management methods but, most of the times, the required technologies to support this behaviour are not adequately addressed.

This group aims at addressing this topic, having as a basis the need to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts and methodologies to achieve the goal of IES. The main objective of the IES group is to develop and concentrate critical scientific and technological mass around the IES concept, contributing to obtaining further developments in the intelligent use of energy, by means of the use of adequate methodologies, namely those based on AI. Although this group considers energy activities as a whole, it is mainly focussed on electrical engineering and power systems.

The main areas where this group works are:
   - Power system operation
   - Competitive Electricity market modelling and operation, including both      technical and economic issues
   - Renewable sources based electricity generation and Distributed Generation.

This group aims at being an international reference in the development of methodologies, models and applications, based on AI, for the Energy field.

The group has as goal to publish results in good scientific journals and conferences and to promote discussion and spread important concepts related with its activities through the organization of events. Following the GECAD culture, research projects are an important goal to be considered by the group. As it will be seen in the report, this group is accomplishing the referred objectives.
