Recent advances in AI have enabled a step change in processing power in the areas of forecasting, analytics and optimization. GridZero.ai has built a specialized platform powered by a foundation model for the power grid that is configured to help the industry navigate the explosion in data and complexity of modern power grids. The model uses AI’s ability to work well with uncertainty to better model the growing variability of the grid. It considers the whole system and brings together insights from interactions between systems that are traditionally modelled in silos. The platform can be used by grid operators and market players to have better earlier forecasts of expected grid conditions and to test the impact of different operating strategies. It can be used by traders to better predict market prices.

In this session, Ritesh and Michael provide an overview of the key AI trends and technology that can be used for improving power system operations. They walk through case studies with results in day ahead operations planning, market trading and show how an AI operations platform will become an indispensable tool to support the management of an increasingly complex power system. They also cover the measures GridZero.ai has built to mitigate risk while enabling the power of AI for system operators and market players.
