Preface The European target of a 20% contribution from renewable energies by 2020 will have a major impact on its energy structures Together with increased energy efficiency, integration of very large amounts of renewable energy sources as well as distributed co-generation units, new grid architectures and grid management strategies are required Developing a smart grid has become an urgent global priority as its economic, environmental, and societal benefit will be enjoyed by generations to come Information and communications technologies are at the core of the smart grid vision as they will empower today’s power grid with the capability of supporting two-way energy and information flow, isolating and restoring power outages more quickly, facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid and empowering the consumer with tools for optimizing their energy consumption The Conference on E-Energy provided a highly interactive forum where researchers and technologists had the opportunity to present and discuss leading research, developments and future directions in the usage of ICT in power systems The main goal of the E-Energy 2010 Conference was not only to present the best research efforts in the area, but also to provide the field with new concepts to be introduced and further explored The conference included two workshops and a paper session The aim of the first workshop, called “Real Smart Grids Applications,” was to present the latest technologies, current deployments and pilot schemes around smart grids Through the examination of regulatory, legal, commercial, market and industry issues, it looked thoroughly at present and future industry challenges including meeting the demands of the EU 2020 carbon targets, increasing penetration of renewable sources and rising to competitive market chances The second workshop, called “Energy Efficiency Through Distributed Energy Management in Buildings,” focused on the work done within the frame of various research projects in the area of smart grids and distributed energy management in buildings, including also real demonstrations in test sites across Europe The workshop was intended to facilitate in-depth discussions about technological concepts, field experience and scenario analyses, as well as hurdles, challenges and necessary framework conditions for enabling and enhancing demand flexibility in buildings Finally, the paper session presented the recent research efforts of universities, research centers and companies in the area of smart grids More specifically, the fields of concern were the following: • • • • Smart grids Active houses Smart meters Intelligent applications VI • • • • • • • • • • Preface Communication and control protocols Multi-agent systems SCADA, EMS, and DSM Power system automation Complex interactive networks Electric vehicles Information technology Competitive environment Renewable energy Distributed generation For further
