Digital Energy

SETTING

Decision making processes in complex systems: Multi-energy grid with multi-stakeholders
Different sources of uncertainties: consumption, renewable energy production, battery states…

PROPOSAL

Decentralized strategies to optimize energy cost while safely avoiding black-out
Models built upon physics & domain expertise of aspects such as buildings and power generators

Data-driven corrections to manage uncertainties (weather
forecasts, aging equipment, consumption patterns adjustment)

ADVANTAGES OF USING HYBRID AI

Need much less data due to the physics based model
Real time adaptation to changes (weather conditions, consumption pattern)
Safe and robust operations which preserve people’s privacy

Remote Sensing

SETTING

Large civil & industrial infrastructures:
Nominal models based on physics and nominal loadings fail to address fatigue, damage and corrosion
No data is available because of the size of the system and the impossibility to monitor localized behaviors at the fine-scale

PROPOSAL

Using remote sensing (drones) for acquiring the right data, at the right place and the right time (smart data setting)
Enrich physics-based models with data-driven corrections at singular locations within the Hybrid AI framework
Apply physics-based models at a larger scale, far from the localized behaviors

ADVANTAGES OF USING HYBRID AI

Much less data: the right data at the right place and time
Better accuracy compared to fully physics-based models that are inaccurate when addressing singular behaviors
Ability to explain the system’s reasoning
Real-time prognosis for adequate prescription
The existing paradigms (fully physics-based and fully data-based) are underperforming

SETTING

Optimal trajectories are strongly impacted by the local environmental conditions, needing real-time data-assimilation and trajectory updating
Collected data is very scarce
Existing data cannot be use for evaluating critical scenarios, as needed for regulation purposes

PROPOSAL

Trajectories are based on data collected by the drone and model estimations far away from the drone locations
Data completion is assured by physics-based models
Critical scenarios can be synthetically generated

ADVANTAGES OF USING HYBRID AI

Much less data, just that collected by the drone
Better accuracy compared to fully physics-based models
Ability to explain and get certification
Ability to address critical scenarios
Real-time responses
