PowerWeb lunch lecture: Werner van Westering - Alliander

The PowerWeb Institute invites you to their monthly lunch lecture series. The lecturers are people from research and industry touching the subject on energy systems integration from their perspective. These events aim to find synergy and possible collaboration.

Modeling the very large electricity network of Alliander DNO and its applications

Data science and machine learning and the energy transition

By Werner van Westering - Senior data scientist at Alliander NV

Date: Thursday 13 February 2020
Time: 12:45-13:30 (free lunch from 12:15)
Location: Faculty of EEMCS, Mekelweg 4, Hall Chip
Moderator: Arjen van der Meer

This lecture is free to attend, register is mandatory via this link. Thank you.

Abstract:
The energy transition combined with a shrinking workforce poses a great challenge for maintaining a reliable power grid. At the data science department of Alliander DNO we combine physical models, machine learning techniques and optimization techniques to model and predict the effects of the energy transition. We also investigate other subjects, such automatic network design, AI-driven investment planning and electricity storage control.
