Power Systems

Work description

The researcher's work is framed within the activities of applying artificial intelligence (AI) to support the energy transition in critical infrastructures (e.g., the power grid). The activities will focus on the control and prediction of the operation of power grids and energy communities, considering aspects such as interpretability, robustness, and resilience of AI-based systems. Another objective is to develop new approaches for cooperation between humans and AI, exploring paradigms such as supervised and reinforcement learning.
