DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on two of our research topics in energy s
 ystems modeling. The first topic will tackle the problem of energy savings
  in buildings using advanced distributed control techniques. Taking into a
 ccount occupancy patterns and their timings\, these controls can lead to m
 ajor reductions in energy consumption by using zonal thermal response and 
 energy asset degradation as main inputs for pre-occupy and post-occupy con
 trol schemes at building zones. The second topic tackles the problem of pl
 anning and controlling energy storages at distribution network using a net
 work-aware approach. A stochastic optimization model first solves a planni
 ng problem using load forecast and network topology inputs. This model is 
 then solved for various stochastic inputs\, and input-output patterns are 
 extracted for simple control rules at each energy storage node across the 
 network.
