AI in Smart Grid

Many applications of Artificial Intelligence to power systems have been proposed over the last 40 years. The maturity of these basic AI technologies, including expert systems, artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, and multi-agent systems, varies from proof-of-concept R&D to practical implementation and use in real-world power grids. Although the technical feasibility of AI technologies has been established, success is limited in widespread commercialization and adoption by the power industry. In this seminar, the presenter will provide an explanation of the AI applications to power grids that he and his group have conducted over decades, including on-going projects The purpose is to demonstrate the applicability and feasibility of AI technologies as well as their limitations. The seminar will include a discussion of the lessons learned and future opportunities for new AI tools in smart grids.
