ESIF Workshop: Frontiers in Distributed Optimization & Control of Sustainable Power Systems

Interact with leaders from academia, national laboratories, and industry at NREL's state-of-the-art Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) during our workshop on frontiers in distributed optimization and control of sustainable power systems. The broader objective of the workshop is to address challenges in distributed control and optimization of future power systems within the context of developing a system-level understanding of emerging paradigms. An additional aim of the workshop is to promote the cross-fertilization of recent findings, advance foundational science for next-generation power systems, and facilitate technology-to-market transfer and industry adoption.

Preregistration is required and space is limited.
