Potential and challenges of AI-powered decision support for short-term system operations

Given the increasing need to meet the new operational requirements of power systems and prepare for the future, adaptation of cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in the operational processes is paramount to timely meet the challenges. The focus of this paper is on applying AI in power system operations, in particular for the...

Exploring grid topology reconfiguration using a simple deep reinforcement learning approach

System operators are faced with increasingly volatile operating conditions. In order to manage system reliability in a cost-effective manner, control room operators are turning to computerised decision support tools based on AI and machine learning. Specifically, Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a promising technique to train agents that suggest...
