On Thursday, 15 July 2021, MDPI and the Journal Energies organized the 3rd webinar on Energies, entitled "Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading in Smart Grid".
The introduction was held by the Chair of the webinar, Prof. Dr. Pierluigi Siano. He has received his MSc degree in Electronic Engineering and his PhD degree in Information and Electrical Engineering from the University of Salerno in Italy. He is a Professor and Scientific Director of the “Smart Grids and Smart Cities Laboratory” with the Department of Management and Innovation Systems at the University of Salerno. His research activities are centered on demand response, energy management, the integration of distributed energy resources in smart grids, electricity markets and the planning and management of power systems. In 2019 and 2020, Professor Doctor Siano received the award of Highly Cited Researcher from ISI Web of Science Group.
The first speaker to quick off this webinar was Dr. Barry Hayes, with his presentation "Open Platforms for Decentralised Electricity Trading in Future Power Grids". Dr. Hayes is an Assistant Professor in Electrical Power Engineering at University College Cork (UCC) and a Funded Investigator at the MaREI Research Centre. He holds a PhD in Electrical Power Systems Engineering from the University of Edinburgh, and has held visiting researcher positions at National Grid UK and at the University of Tennessee. Dr. Hayes is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). His research group focuses on the electricity grid integration of sustainable energy technologies, and the operation and planning of future power systems.
The second presentation with the title "Sustainable Energy Solutions for the Smart Grid: The Importance of Citizen Energy Communities" was held by Prof. Dr. Zita Vale. She is Full Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Institute of Engineering—Polytechnic of Porto (ISEP). She received her diploma in Electrical Engineering in 1986, her PhD in 1993, and her Habilitation in 2003, from University of Porto. Prof. Dr. Zita Vale works in the area of Power and Energy Systems, with special interest in the application of artificial intelligence techniques. She has been involved in more than 60 funded projects related to the development and the use of knowledge-based systems, multi-agent systems, neural networks, particle swarm intelligence, and data mining. Prof. Dr. Zita Vale actively participates in several technical working groups and committee, namely from IEEE.
The third presentation “An Extreme-Scale Distributed Parallel Optimization for Energy Communities” was held by Prof. Dr. Pierluigi Siano.
The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair Prof. Dr. Pierluigi Siano. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend.
