The massive integration of renewable energy sources within the electric power system calls for an in-depth revision of the way the system is operated. Indeed, cheap renewable energy sources are typically located away from the consumption centers, have little or no inertia, are often connected at lower voltage levels, and are driven by complex spatiotemporal stochastic weather processes. At the bulk level, this leads to extremely fast and difficult-to-predict changes in the net demand, resulting in needs for faster frequency control, more efficient power balancing mechanisms, and more effective ways of controlling the flows within the interconnected transmission system. At the lower voltage levels of distribution networks, this leads to novel needs for voltage and power flow control and even the emergence of stability issues. It is also necessary to revisit the way operation and control of transmission and distribution systems is coordinated. Moreover, the future power system must integrate electric vehicles, smart-buildings, micro-grids and prosumer communities, and strengthen the interactions with other critical infrastructures, such as transportation, water, gas, and ICT.
In order to maintain a desired level of reliability of electricity supply, while minimizing the socio-economic costs of achieving this, a combination of opportunities should be synergized. These concern electric storage, demand flexibility, power electronics, sensors, and market mechanisms, and they will strongly rely on recent progresses in methodological areas pertaining to data analytics, stochastic and distributed control, dynamic contracts, inference, learning and approximate optimal control, mathematical programming, and multilevel methods.
The workshop will provide an overview of recent developments and open questions in these areas. Possible topics within the workshop include:

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute. As detailed via the menu links within this section, our output covers social media streams, news articles, a regular podcast series, an online newsletter, and more detailed documents produced throughout the year.
“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
Visit this section to learn more about how you could play a part in supporting INI’s groundbreaking research.
In this section you can find contact information, staff lists, maps and details of how to find INI’s main building in Cambridge.
Our administrative staff can help you with any queries regarding a prospective or planned visit. If you would like to discuss a proposed a research programme or other event, our senior management team will be happy to help.
