The power system industry is shifting towards a new digitalization era to better manage risk within volatile energy commodities, increase customer engagement, and enhance efficiency via grid optimization. Data analytics play a vital role in this transformation and, as such, different measurement architectures have been used and implemented to facilitate data capturing process and supervisory control at the generation, transmission, and distribution levels. This seminar will briefly review the recent outcomes of some smart grid challenges addressed by novel prediction techniques. At the generation level, decomposition techniques have been applied to handle the inherent uncertainty in short-term wind power prediction. At the transmission level, dynamic thermal line rating prediction has been studied as a viable solution to reduce congestion and utilize the actual capacity of the line. Considering the high inclusion of phasor measurement units at the transmission level, cutting-edge methods have been proposed to address stability status prediction of the grid following a contingency. Finally, at the distribution level, real-life data obtained from advanced metering infrastructure have been used for load prediction and customer segmentation.

The present seminar is focused on the role of physics-inspired feature generation in improving the performance of machine learning-based pipelines and enhancing their physical interpretability. Simulating the thermal processes taking place in indoor environments and estimating the buildings' characteristics from smart meter data are specifically presented as case studies. The impact of selecting the most promising set of features on reducing the pipelines' dimensionality and facilitating the physical interpretation of the models is also discussed.

Det blir mangel på systembærende tjenester i fremtiden. Hvordan løser vi det? Er fasekompensatorer svaret, eller ligger svaret i nettskapende omformere? Hva med vern-problematikken? Hvordan er det med distribusjonsnettet? Speaker(s): , , Nydalen allé 33, Oslo, Oslo, Norway, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/365509

The digital revolution has brought about transformative changes in the global power and energy systems, presenting unprecedented opportunities to address crucial challenges such as climate change and the growing demand for electrification. Through the utilization of digital data and advanced analytics, organizations can achieve cost savings in operations and maintenance, optimize power plant and network efficiency, minimize unplanned outages and downtime, and maximize the lifespan of valuable assets. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the adoption of digitally-enabled measures could potentially result in substantial savings of around USD 80 billion per year from 2016 to 2040. To fully harness the benefits of digitalization and embrace this new era, it is essential to explore novel methods and strategies for digital asset maintenance and management within energy systems and infrastructure. This talk aims to provide an overview of recent developments in this field, offering insights into innovative approaches and technologies that can drive efficiency and effectiveness. Attendees will have the opportunity to gain knowledge about the latest trends and practical considerations, enabling them to navigate the ongoing digital transformation in the energy sector.
