Today, the optimization of production planning processes by means
of IT and quantitative methods is a de-facto standard in the energy
industry. Franch et al.

reasonsforthis. Furthermore,
theenergyproblemnowisnotonlyachallenging one but also one of the
most important issues in the world from the political and
economical points of view. In every country, the government is
faced with the problem of how to adopt the system of 'Cap and
Trade. ' Especially energy consuming industries, such as steel,
power, oil and chemicals, are seriously confronted with this
problem. VIII Preface This is also the reason why the German
Operations Research Society (GOR) and one of its working groups,
held a symposium with the title "Stochastic Optimization in the
Energy Industry. " During the 78th meeting of the GOR working group
"Praxis der Mathematischen Optimierung/Real World Optimization" in
Aachen at Procom GmbH on April 21/22, 2007, the speakers with an
application background explained their requirements for
stochasticoptimizationsolutionsbasedonpracticalexperiences.
Thespeakers from the research side and the software system
suppliers examined di?erent aspects of the whole subject - from the
integration of wind energy, the chain of errors in nuclear power
plants and the scheduling of hydroelectric power stations, and the
risk assessment in trading activities to the various software
systems which support stochastic optimization methods. The
symposium o?ered an interesting overview which re?ected the -
quirements, possibilities and restrictions of "Stochastic
Optimization in the Energy Industry.
