Summary – The topic of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) and associated analytics rose to prominence as the huge amounts of data became available through the space exploration, weather projections and medical biogenetic investigations. The humans deployed AI/ML to create data models to automate the data analysis, which may be infeasible to do manually or by simulations of physical systems only. Social media and commercial outlets such as Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon and others have used for a while AI/ML the analysis of huge data sets to develop data models to predict consumer behavior. The power system operators are lately experiencing huge amounts of data obtained through field measurements and external sources such as variety of weather and other ambient data.

This talk focuses on the role of AI/ML data analytics in managing and controlling future power system by predicting power system outages at different spatiotemporal scales. The importance of outage prediction is explored, and examples how the AI/ML analytics are recently used to successful predict the risk of transmission and distribution faults are explored. The use of the risk prediction maps to manage the risk of forced outages and mitigate their impacts, as well as how the risk analysis can be used to schedule participation of distributed energy resources to mitigate outages is illustrated with a few examples. The future trends are also outlined.

FF4EuroHPC Two-Day Project Review

On 16-17 March, FF4EuroHPC partners have started with a two-day project review. Dr Bastian Koller, managing director at HLRS – High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart and project coordinator started the public presentation of the FF4EuroHPC project insights. He also gave a glimpse into the Experiments supported by FF4EuroHPC and provided the outlooks for the future. But most of all, he presented clearly how this project supports European SMEs and encourages their competitiveness and highlighted the added value project brings to the European HPC landscape (source: FF4EuroHPC).

Project AIMHiGH was presented in the session dedicated to FF4EuroHPC experiments

In the photo below, you can see the outstanding results our consortia gained – red-colored countries are participating in the FF4EuroHPC Experiments. Learn more about the Experiments at the foll.owing link.
