Mathematics of Planet Earth

Energy companies witness a rapidly changing landscape: increase of intermittent, variable and spatially distributed power sources (wind, sun); expansion of markets and actors at all spatial and temporal scales; penetration of telecom technologies (smart grids). Those new factors impact the practice of optimization. Following SESO 2014, the 2d International Thematic Week Smart Energy and Stochastic Optimization (SESO 2015) will take place in Paris from June 22 to 26, 2015. SESO 2015 will be devoted to stochastic optimization, decentralized optimization and their applications to the management of new energy systems. The Week alternates courses, tutorials, scientific workshops and an industry day; it is aimed at a mixed public, in academy and in industry. The academic organizers are ENSTA ParisTech and École des Ponts ParisTech, with the financial support of the Gaspard Monge Program for Optimization and operations research (PGMO).
