Instructions for Presenting Authors: 

Kadir Has University (KHAS) is located at a very central location at Cibali, Historical peninsula of Istanbul, close to Istanbul M2 Metro Line (Haliç stop, 10 min. walk), T5 Tram line (Cibali stop, 1 min. walk). Here is a link to access to campus. KHAS D-block is the building with a GLASS Structure, you will notice the conference flags in front of the building entrance. Security will check your name on a list and admit you to the building. Here is a virtual tour of the campus.

1) You will see the registration desk by the entrance inside the D-Block. Once you register and collect your badge and bag in the Registration Booth, you can visit your session location at the entrance level. Guest wifi password is also available at the registaion desk. D-Block Great Hall is at the second level. Badges are required at all sessions and social programme, please keep it with you during the conference. If you need assistance, EEM24 volunteers will be there to help you.

2) The EEM24 conference program is available at the EEM24 and conftool websites (click on any session to see the details). Please arrive at your session 10 minutes in advance. The conference programme is strictly followed, and you should not change the order of the papers. If a presenter does not show up, the scheduled program will continue with the next presenting author (no waiting). Note that the papers must be presented to the audience through an oral presentation as part of the EEM24 program. The oral presentation in person is required for your accepted paper to be included in the EEM24 Conference Proceedings, which will be published in IEEE Xplore. Hence, “no show” papers will NOT be included in the EEM24 conference proceedings.

3) All rooms are equipped with a booth that includes a PC (with Windows operating system, internet connection and USB memory slots) and a touch screen. There is either a wide touch screen LCD by the board or a projector in each room. If you need a laser pointer, you can bring your own. You can prepare your presentation for 16:9 size (best fit to screen). Please have your USB memory stick with your presentation. Microsoft Powerpoint and Adobe PDF Reader programs are installed in each PC. We suggest that you have your own presentation ready in both PDF and PPTX/PPT formats in a USB memory stick.

4) If there is any technical issue with PCs or screen/projector, please call the EEM24 volunteers who will be present in the room. Technical staff will be called and help you out.

5) Each session has 5 to 7 papers and lasts for 90 minutes The time for each paper presentation should not exceed: 8 minutes for presentation and 4 minutes for Q&A. 1 minute is for introduction of a paper and presenter as well as transitions. It is very important that the total of 13 minutes is kept so that attendees can always know when to attend their interested papers.

Paper and presentation proposals are being invited in the following or related technical track topic areas:

• Operation of energy and carbon markets: modelling, simulation, and analysis

Appropriate tools are required for analysis and assessment of energy systems and markets. This category encompasses topics such as technical and economic modelling of energy markets and systems, model uncertainty, analysis of energy price evolution, forecasting, portfolio management, carbon market etc.

• Market integration of renewable energy sources

Increasing the share of renewable energy sources in European energy systems presents a multitude of present and future challenges. Approaches and solutions will be presented and discussed – e.g., decarbonization of the power sector, security and flexibility of supply, integration of regional electrical energy markets, demand side management, economic aspects of climate change, etc.

• Infrastructure development and management

Integrating the European Energy Markets as well as the expansion of renewable energies requires infrastructure development and management. This comprises topics such as grid expansion, interconnections, ancillary services, congestion management, trading imbalances, investment analyses, transmission and distribution asset management, pricing models, incentives for investments, etc.

• Technical advances, new services, and market actors in integrated energy systems and communities

Energy communities offer a democratic approach to energy system decentralization and decarbonization. Of particular interest are energy communities empowered by localized generation of clean electricity and/or heat, as well as those involving some type of energy storage. This category addresses technical topics related to the operations, planning and design of integrated community energy systems composed by dispersed resources, including microgrids and electrical islands. At the same time, it is relevant to depict novel business and ownership models that will help accelerate the change to a decentralized paradigm, as well as new local market structures, and emerging actors. Lastly, this topic welcomes contributions related to the governance structures of energy collectives, including related policy challenges.

• E-mobility and storage technologies

The recent advancements in the E-mobility segment will drastically affect the energy sector. This category includes the analysis of electric vehicle charging profiles and strategies, including bidirectional charging, and the assessment of impacts and benefits on distribution grids (e.g., vehicle charging flexibility as a grid resource). In terms of stationary energy storage, the following topics of innovative business cases, emerging market trends & applications, challenges to the development of energy storage, energy storage market design and regulatory frameworks, etc. will be considered.

• Energy citizenship and energy justice

End-users are expected to assume an increasingly central role in Europe’s energy transition, whether by actively aiming for energy efficiency, by producing and storing renewable energy locally, or by adjusting their consumption patterns to the power system’s constraints. At the same time many consumers lack the information, or the resources needed to engage in behavioral change or in different types of energy investments. This category welcomes studies addressing energy citizenship, energy justice, and energy poverty, as well as methods and tools to empower the role of the citizens in the energy transition.

• Energy & climate policy and regulation

Energy policy addresses the economic, environmental, political, planning, and social aspects of energy supply. This category includes topics that confront decision-makers, corporate planners, managers, consultants, politicians, and researchers. Climate policy focuses on the de-carbonization of the power sector, economics of climate change and stakeholder vision on the future power system. Technical and economic efficiency is essential for a modern electrical energy system. Options such as cogeneration, production and demand management, efficient use of energy in household and industry as well as policies and analyses will be presented and discussed. Furthermore, problems and solutions in energy transition and net-zero emission targets will be considered.

• Hydrogen economy: technologies and strategies

Hydrogen is currently enjoying unprecedented political and business momentum, with the number of policies and projects expanding rapidly. The related topics include, but are not limited to: environmental aspects and impact of hydrogen energy technologies, economics of hydrogen energy applications, hydrogen in smart grids, hydrogen storage & infrastructure, market and deployment of hydrogen technologies, hydrogen valleys, power-to-X (P2X) products and applications etc.
