SIB Council on e-Energy (SIB-EE)
Keywords:
Energy efficiency, Sustainability, Renewable Resources, Alternative Energy, Clean Fuels, Free Energy.
Scope:
The scope of this SIB is to bring together experts from the energy sector to focus on sustainable energy production and use using the latest in ICT to develop and improve energy production and usage.
Key-Challenges:
- Finding alternative energy production capabilities;
- Minimising Energy Consumption;
- Helping to developing renewable energy;
- Maximising Energy efficiency.
Mission:
Energy systems have to meet society's social and economic needs and satisfy the needs of its citizens in an efficient and safe manner. Due to increasing demand for services consumers and industry face high consumption of energy. This increasingly contributes to costs to the economy and environment everywhere. This SIB will investigate ways in which information technology can be used to address the requirements of producing sustainable energy.
Description:
In the near future energy conservation will require billions of sensors that can communicate with each other. This situation will enable numerous novel applications and orders of magnitude improvement in the performance energy conservation.
This SIB will not only pose R&D problems, but provide crucial incentives and directions shaping this entire field. Also researchers from industry will be invited that help to give a more applied view on the field. In order to stimulate this, special sessions will be dedicated to open research questions and project ideas. In addition, there will be focus groups on selected topics. This will enable exploration of both the necessary depth of a special topic and at the same time allow for the presentation of an adequate breadth of topics. Researchers and practitioners from companies will also discuss and exchanges their ideas.
Some of these advanced strategies are investigated in the EE SIB and realized in close cooperation with industry.
