Seminar Title:
AI and Digitization as Enablers of Clean Energy Transition
Abstract:
As we transition towards a climate-neutral society, future energy systems will increasingly feature high shares of renewable energy sources and power electronic converters. However, these advancements introduce significant challenges in maintaining power balance and system stability. This talk will explore how AI helps to address these challenges. Specifically, the talk focuses on transfer learning based modeling for converter interfaced assets, digital twin development of power systems, and safe deep reinforcement learning for grid optimization with numerous converter interfaced renewable energy sources. This talk targets those interested in tech-driven environmental sustainability, offering insights into how digital advances support the clean energy transition.
