Dear Colleagues,
please consider the latest call for the IBIS International Journal
of Interoperability in Business Information Systems for
publication.

Special Issue on Interoperability for the Energy Sector
Guest Editor: Sebastian Lehnhoff
From a technical point of view, the increasing amount of
renewables and distributed generation is imposing novel problems
on the existing energy distribution grid and its communication
infrastructure. The paradigm of power generation following the
demand that has been well established over the last century has to
change. With unpredictable generation and subsequent fluctuating
power feed-in to the grid by solar and wind power plants, it
becomes necessary for the demand side to adjust itself to the
overall energy generation in order to ensure a stable and reliable
power supply under increasingly stochastic demand and supply
situations.
New technologies like smart meters, home automation and demand
side management through web 2.0 technologies are expected to be
the major cornerstones for addressing issues like controlling
electric vehicles or micro-CHPs which in general are more
predictable than stochastic generation. Charging and de-charging
of EVs may become of interest to provide significant distributed
storage capacities. Yet, this may only be achieved through
integrating even more ICT technology into the grid to make it
smarter and to increase the overall level of automation. One of
the key issues identified by smart grid roadmaps all around the
world are standards and interoperability issues connected with
this development. This issue of the IBIS magazine aims at
outlining important solutions and applications of improving the
integration of ICT between different systems of the grid.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Coordination mechanisms for automated ICT-systems
* Integration of electric vehicles
* Demand side management processes and their integration into
energy management systems
* Coordination of distributed generation through means of
interoperable systems
* Real-time process communication in smart grids
* Communication and Data requirements for safety critical
real-time communication in future smart grids
* Standardization issues
Deadline
Please submit your papers until 25.03.2011. Please see the author
guidelines for details on the submission.
