Special Day 2: Intelligent Energy Management - Supply and Utilisation
Thursday March 17th 2011
Paul Mitcheson, Imperial College, UK
Paul Wright, UC Berkeley, USA

The links between the disciplines of computation, power electronics, and power systems must become stronger as we move into a world of increasing energy utilisation and efficiency. This special day will foster the necessary links between these separate disciplines through invited presentations from experts in the areas of energy generation, storage and utilisation. The day will also cover recent innovations in enabling technologies for portable devices (energy-harvesting and wireless powering) and applications of intelligent systems to improve the utilisation of electricity supply through smart metering and infrastructure.
