Interacting Machine-learning Entities in Smart Grids KU Leuven
Many smart grid applications (e.g. demand response and storage management) can benefit from machine learning for learning the local grid, market and user characteristics. Control performance can increase if such learning agents can interact with others. The goal of this work is to investigate how distributed control applications can benefit from this interaction, and controller performance can be improved or optimised.
Value of Flexibility in Future Electricity Markets KU Leuven
Context
Flexibility is defined as the ability of power systems to cope with expected and unexpected changes in demand and generation, as well as grid disturbances. New technology trends such as variable, renewable generation and distributed energy resources challenge the demand as well the supply of flexibility, historically provided by conventional power plants. The development and deployment of additional resources for flexibility is ...
End-to-end Training of Deep Neural Networks for Monocular Autonomous Navigation - A Feasibility Study KU Leuven
This PhD investigates the feasibility of applying Deep Learning methods to monocular autonomous navigation. Deep Learning has shown impressive results over the last seven years in computer vision, moving from hand crafted algorithms to end-to-end learned models. Whether the same idea of moving from hand crafted algorithms to end-to-end trained deep neural networks is also applicable to monocular navigation is still an open ...
The Value of Large-Scale Offshore Energy Storage in the Future Electricity Market KU Leuven
Electricity is a real-time product. Supply and demand, or generation and consumption, have to match exactly at any instance to support the stable operation of the power system. This results from the fact that electricity is not economically storable on a large scale. While this is challenged by techno-economic developments leading to increased and improved storage capacities, storage levels remain well below that of other energy commodities. ...
