Workshop on AI for Forecasting, Operation & Planning of Power Systems

This workshop will bring together professionals from utilities, technology providers, start-ups, research organizations, and policymakers to share insights and real-world experience. While AI offers powerful new capabilities, its application in mission-critical power systems also raises key questions around robustness, transparency, and integration.

The workshop will open with a keynote on “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗨’𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆: 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜” by Hadrien Thebault, Policy officer at the European Commission.

During the workshop, we will explore:

🔹 AI for weather modelling and forecasting

🔹 Renewable energy and demand forecasting

🔹 Applications in system operations (e.g. congestion management, reserves)

🔹 Emerging topics: foundation models and privacy-preserving data sharing

🔹 Perspectives on planning and investment in future power systems

🔹 EU and international initiatives

The workshop is co-organized by Mines Paris – PSL, Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE), and the 𝗜𝗘𝗔 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝟱𝟭 & 𝟮𝟱/𝟲𝟯.
