Some Research Trends in Energy Systems

Energy systems are going through a dramatic transformation to be more sustainable and resilient. Along the way, we need to overcome interesting challenges in integrating uncertain renewable resources, utilizing explosive growth in data, coordinating new and conventional generation technologies and tighter coupling between different civil infrastructure networks. This talk serves as an introduction to the Winter 2021 colloquium talks in power and energy, as well as showing the current research at UW.
