Title: Energy Informatics: Enabling Sustainable Energy Use
Lecturer: Professor Frank Eliassen, Department of Informatics, UiO

Abstract
Energy Informatics is an emerging interdisciplinary domain that lies at the intersection of energy system, power systems, economics, computer engineering, and computer science. Energy Informatics studies information and communication technology means to more effectively manage energy resources, fossil resources as well as renewable resources. Energy Informatics includes topics such as smart (power) grids, smart meters, demand response, smart buildings, plug-in electrical vehicles, energy storage, energy policy, energy markets and market mechanisms, etcetera.

In this talk, I provide a view on Energy Informatics from the perspective of a computer scientist, focusing on how future energy systems will exploit ICT to increase integration of renewable and distributed energy sources by making energy systems smarter, and to increase energy efficiency beyond what improvements at component level can achieve.

Bio
Frank Eliassen is professor at the UiO´s Department of informatics. Eliassen is an experienced researcher and project manager for several decades, in the areas of distributed systems middleware and IoT/Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) with experience from national and EU level projects. His present research activities are oriented towards service-oriented IoT/edge/fog computing and CPS middleware and programming models in application areas including Smart Cities and Smart Grids, adaptive software systems, autonomic systems (self-*), and decentralized intelligent energy management systems. Eliassen is heading the activity at UiO on education and research in Energy Informatics. He is also leader of UiO´s research group Networks and Distributed Systems. Eliassen received his degrees from the University of Tromsø.
