9th DACH+ Conference on Energy Informatics

Energy Informatics 2020


Sustainable Energy Sustainable Energy



The recently announced “European Green Deal” by the EU Commission is among the latest indicators that the decarbonization, and therefore the transformation of the energy system has finally become widely accepted and a political priority. In nearly all parts of this transformation, ICT plays a key role: as an enabler, during the design or the operation of novel energy systems. Energy Informatics is in the core of this transformation.
The objective of the DACH+ conference series on Energy Informatics is to promote the research, development, and implementation of information and communication technologies in the energy domain and to foster the exchange between academia, industry, and service providers in the German-Austrian-Swiss region and its neighboring countries (DACH+).
We seek high-quality original contributions addressing the enabling innovations, design, test, implement, operate or maintain innovative energy systems, and energy-efficient computing and communication. We welcome theoretical contributions as well as publications addressing system design, implementation, and experimentation. The list of topics of interest to the conference includes, but is not limited to:
- ICT for future energy systems
- Protocols and architectures for IT systems in the energy sector
- Data analytics for smart energy systems and platforms for data analysis
- ICT for the management of distributed generation and demand side management
- ICT for (multi-) energy networks and micro-grids
- Energy-efficient mobility, charge management for electric vehicles, energy-aware traffic control, and smart grid integration of mobile storage
- Smart buildings, digital metering, occupant comfort, and user interaction
- Information systems for behavior change, market mechanisms, and business cases
- Cross-cutting issues including : cyber security and privacy protection, interoperability, verification of networked smart grid systems
