The Aalborg 2015
Symposium
on Microgrids
HE 11TH SYMPOSIUM IN the series of International Microgrids Symposia was held at
Aalborg University's City Campus, Denmark,
on Thursday and Friday, 27 and 28 August 2015. It was
organized by the University of Aalborg and sponsored
by the European Technology Platform on SmartGrids,
the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE) Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and other generous sponsors; it was also supported by the National
Technical University of Athens. These symposia follow
a rough rotation around three regions: Asia, Europe, and
the Americas. Speakers and chairing of sessions are
organized by the regional representatives of a 19-member International Steering Committee.
Those members are Nikos Hatziargyriou (chair), Chris
Marnay (immediate past chair), Josep Guerrero (Aalborg
Symposium chair), Miky Albu, Johan Driesen, Pierluigi
Mancarella, Reza Iravani, Farid Katiraei, Sid Suryanarayanan, Guillermo Jiménez, Ben Kroposki (replaced by Jim
Cale), Toshifumi Ise, Saad Sayeef, Hiroshi Asano, Alex
Chong, Ryoichi Hara, Jaeho Choi, and Meiqin Mao, with
temporary local organizing committees raising funding
for logistical costs and taking care of practical details.
The goal of the Aalborg Symposium was to continue our
informal exchange of results from microgrid research
and demonstrations around the world with an emphasis on recent results. After the symposium, technical
tours were organized at the Nordisk Folkecenter for
Renewable Energy, the Østerild Wind Turbine Test Center, and the Aalborg University Laboratory facilities.
