Events - Seminars

As a result of significant development and innovation across the many engineering disciplines in the energy sector, there is an increased emphasis on adopting software tools that meet the many resulting challenges including new approaches for the design, operation, and analysis of products and systems all within a technical, economic, environmental, and regulatory framework.

An area of increasing importance for system operators, generation companies, transmission companies, and distribution companies is how best to characterise and assess the behaviour of innovative technologies in both technical and economic terms. For example, the emerging technologies of the Smart Grid have emphasised the importance of finding effective methods to evaluate system operation, stability, capacity, and unbalanced characteristics at the distribution level. At the transmission level, non-dispatchable generation, such as wind farms, offsets dispatchable generation and can lower confidence levels on congestion calculations.

MathWorks tools help energy organisations to effectively analyse large operational data sets, evaluate energy resources, develop systems for power generation and distribution, forecast electrical load, model energy markets, assess trading risk, and create products that consume less energy and are environmentally friendly.

Join us for this free breakfast seminar, where we will discuss the many benefits that MathWorks customers in the energy sector derive from our software tools. We then consider in more detail the roles that modelling and simulation play in meeting the operational, reliability, security, and economic challenges that innovation naturally brings to system operation. As technical and economic operation are not mutually exclusive, both are considered through an example case study, allowing direct observation of the interaction between the two.

Please note: this event will be held alongside the Electric Energy Society of Australia’s 2010 National Conference, where MathWorks will be an exhibitor.

This seminar is part of the MathWorks Energy Tour 2010 taking place in Melbourne and Brisbane on September 7 and 9. For more information on the Tour, click here.
