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

On 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟳, we are organizing a workshop at 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀-𝗣𝗦𝗟 (𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀) 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.

👉 Registration is free but mandatory at this link: registration

Please note that the workshop will be held in person only – no remote participation will be available.

Additionally, on the morning of Tuesday, April 28, we will host a joint meeting of IEA Wind Task 51 Forecasting and IEA Wind Task 25/63, open to registered participants. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the activities of these two international expert groups.

Join us in Paris to connect innovation with operational reality and help shape the next generation of AI-enabled energy systems.
