General Context

Key words: Artificial intelligence, power system, power electronics

All economic domains should be impacted by artificial intelligence (AI) development. In the domain of power systems, ENTSO-E added AI-based technologies to its roadmap for research, development and innovation for 2024-2034. This internship project, initiated by SuperGrid Institute’s technical management, is part of the process of deployment in the institute. The goal is to assess, through a proof of concept, how an AI-based approach can address a problem in the field of power system planning or operation or in power electronics.

Missions

• Understanding the problem to solve: its modelling, the related physical constraints, its formulation

• Revue of possible techniques and available tools to address the problem

• Implementation of the proof of concept

• Critical analysis of results, comparison with state of the art

• Final report write-up and final presentation preparation
