Scope and Information for Participants
We present a sustainable solution for managing peak energy demand considering the UK as an example by leveraging the growing electric vehicle (EV) fleet as a decentralized energy storage system. Our approach integrates machine learning models, such as Bayesian probability frameworks, to optimize EV energy supply during peak periods and recharging during off-peak hours. This strategy aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, enhance grid stability, and support the UK’s net-zero goals. Central to this framework is an innovative income model designed to incentivize EV users to participate in energy trading. By incorporating dynamic pricing, contribution bonuses, and battery health subsidies, we ensure financial rewards for users while minimizing grid strain.
Real-time data on EV mobility, charging patterns, and grid demand will be analyzed to optimize energy distribution and maximize user participation. Additionally, predictive analytics will be used to forecast peak demand and adjust compensation rates, ensuring a balanced and efficient system. Through this symposium, we aim to bridge the gap between technical feasibility and real-world implementation, providing actionable insights for researchers, policymakers, and energy professionals. By aligning financial incentives with sustainability goals, our framework offers a scalable solution for managing peak energy demand. We highlight the environmental, economic, and societal benefits of this approach, paving the way for a sustainable energy future in the UK and beyond.
The main topics of this symposium are listed below.

VISA:
Welcome to GOV.UKIn order to ensure the information is correct and up to date, there may be changes which we are not aware of. And different countries have different rules for the visa application. It is always a good idea to check the latest regulations in your country. This page just gives some general information of the visa application.
You must have a passport or travel document to enter the UK. It should be valid for the whole of your stay. You must be able to show that:
Depending on your nationality, you'll either:
You can check if you need a visa before you apply. If you do not need a visa, you must still meet the Standard Visitor eligibility requirements to visit the UK. You may be asked questions at the UK border about your eligibility and the activities you plan to do.
Should your application be denied, the organizing committee cannot change the decision of visa officer, nor will CONF-MPCS engage in discussion or correspondence with the visa application center on behalf of the applicant. The registration fee CANNOT be refunded when the VISA application of individual being denied.
