Co-located with the 13th DACH+ Conference on Energy Informatics, the 15th Doctoral Workshop Energy Informatics discusses the role of ICT and computer science in future energy systems. The transformation of energy systems leads to drastic changes in the operation of existing energy supply and demand systems and requires a paradigm shift in both their planning and operation. The technological aspects as well as the involvement of consumers play a crucial role in the necessary transformation process. Hence, not only the development, evaluation and application of new technologies and methods but also the complex interactions between them and with their users must be investigated. These challenges are not limited to the domain of electric power and include electricity, mobility, gas, and heat supply systems.

The Doctoral Workshop Energy Informatics 2024 invites doctoral students whose research focuses on the intersection of informatics, energy engineering, and energy economics. This workshop presents an opportunity for doctoral students to discuss their current work – ranging from preliminary ideas to project/thesis results – with researchers from within the same community. Hence, long papers, doctoral project descriptions, and progress reports in the form of short papers are welcome. Former participants of the workshop may be accepted for presentation of significant progress in their doctoral project and should state clearly the progress compared to earlier submissions. For them, submitting a results paper might be the best fit (see below for details).

The aim of this workshop is to support doctoral students in their research and in creating a basis for a high quality submission to a signature conference or journal. For doctoral students submitting a results paper, publication within the proceedings of the DACH+ Energy Informatics Conference will be possible after successfully finishing the shepherding process (see below).

The topics of interest are within the scope of the DACH+ conference on Energy Informatics.
