The DTU CEE Summer School 2018 “Modern Optimization in Energy” was organized by the ELMA group from June 24 to June 29, 2018, and sponsored by MOSEK, EES-UETP (Electric Energy Systems – University Enterprise Training Partnership) and the CITIES project.
With 53 participants (from universities and enterprises, and from all over the world) and 8 world-renowned lecturers, this event was even larger than the previously organized school. The summer school focused in particular on optimal power flow, distributionally robust optimization, convex relaxations, data-driven methods, integrated energy systems and consumer-centric electricity markets. Students received tutorials on the application and interpretation of these techniques, and used their skills to complete group projects. Finally, students were asked to disseminate their findings to other students through presentations and peer review. The overall evaluation from 53 participants was as follows: excellent: 46.5%, good: 53.5%, fair: 0%, poor: 0%.
