Outline

The goal of this research area is to create theory, mathematical models and fundamental technology
for optimal control of energy demand and supply in energy management systems linking customers and
a variety of energy sources including renewable energy.
Specifically, this research area invites proposals on theory and basic technologies to realize cooperative
control and situation awareness of spatially distributed energy demand and supply through mutual and
real-time interactions of both energies and information.
It is also promoted to create theory and basic technologies integrating human behavior and social
rationality in order to lead the selfish decision making of consumers and suppliers to social advantages
in overall energy management system.
Moreover, it is also encouraged to create theory and basic technologies to grasp the status of, estimate,
and forecast demand and supply of renewable energy by learning from satellite data, regional
meteorological observations, geographical information, and past supply-demand records.
This research area also aims at combining different research fields such as system science, control,
information, communication, energy and social science in view of the exit of establishing a cooperative
distributed energy management system.
