VTT webinar
What is the role of artificial intelligence in the future of energy systems?
Future scenarios and current use cases from Nordic perspective
On-demand webinar available now.
The energy system is a complex environment with lots of uncertainty, and the current transformation of the sector from fossil-based to carbon neutral energy complicates it even further. It is increasingly important to be able to predict the conditions affecting the generation, distribution and consumption of energy.
The demand for energy is growing consistently, and new dynamic energy markets are emerging in response. Ensuring the reliability of energy systems is crucial: the effectiveness of energy markets depends on reliable supply. All this brings new challenges and possibilities for the companies in this sector.
By joining this webinar you will hear:
- What are the opportunities and challenges in the energy transition?
- What is the role of data and AI in the energy revolution?
- What is the future of power transmission network – especially from the Finnish and Nordic perspective?
- How to combine machine learning and smart energy expertise for better energy forecasting?
Agenda
- Opening, Kirsi Kotilainen, Solution Sales Lead, Smart energy, VTT
- What does future power transmission network look like – from Finnish to Nordic Perspective? Janne Seppänen, Professor of Practice, Aalto University, Senior Expert at Fingrid
- Data & AI in the energy revolution, Mikko Muurinen, Head of Data and AI, Helen
