Description
This course will teach you how to digitalize the ‘conventional’ grid and which digital technologies you can use for this, including but not limited to AI, machine learning, blockchain, and computer simulations.
Even though the power grid has been the main driver of technological advancement in the past decades, its engineering is outdated by today’s standards. Equipment is still hardwired and analog, there is limited data acquisition and many control actions are performed manually. Subsequently, ensuring similar system quality and efficient operations becomes harder when more renewables are added to the grid. The next giant leap, therefore, is to revamp and digitalize the energy system.
We invited five prominent industry leaders to share industry perspectives, case studies, and applications of digitalization in grid operations, electric power systems, power distribution, electrical systems, control systems, and cybersecurity, as well as in consultancy and software development. Our guest speakers are Philip Gladek (CEO of Spectral), Bas Kruimer (Business Director of Digital Grid Operations at DNV), Martin Wevers (Grid Planner at TenneT), Evelyn Heylen (Head of Research at Centrica), and Antoine Marot (Lead AI Scientist at RTE).
You will also get hands-on experience by solving an optimal scheduling problem, noting the differences between numerical simulation methods, and applying machine learning to predict system overloads.
This course is aimed at professionals in the energy industry who want to broaden their perspective and discover alternative approaches to energy integration intelligently, such as:
– grid operators, electrical systems managers, control systems managers, power engineers
– cybersecurity consultants, software developers, artificial intelligence managers/ scientists, energy consultants
– project managers, planners, policy makers, etc.
Any other enthusiasts who desire to learn more about current practices in the power grid, novel digital technologies, and trends in deploying them can also enroll in this course.
