About the talk
Energy Informatics is a new university initiative promoted by UiO:Energy and associated with the Department of Informatics. The main goal is to tackle the future global warming, energy crisis and climate change challenges by exploring state-of-the-art ICT (Information & Communications Technology) theories and tools to address energy-related problems.
In this talk, Professor Yan Zhang (MN, UiO) will first introduce the key concepts and vision in Energy Informatics.
Then, focus on one of the main challenges: how sharing economy may transform the energy sector. He will mainly explain this from three perspectives: the Internet Peer-to-Peer (P2P) principle, Blockchain, and game theory.
Finally, he will briefly introduce the new course INF5870/INF9870 Energy Informatics.
