Centre Universitaire d'Informatique

With Prof. Viktor K. Prasanna University of Southern California, ceng.usc.edu/~prasanna

Abstract: This talk will review our various efforts related to smart energy systems at the Center for Energy Informatics at the University of Southern California. We first review Integrated asset management research in the Center for Smart Oil Field Technologies. We then review the Smart Grid demonstration project efforts related to software architecture for demand response. We will also briefly discuss research in energy efficient Internet infrastructure.
