The electricity sector is going through fundamental changes due to the urgency to decarbonize, improve resilience against climate-induced extreme weather events, and provide affordable, reliable access to at-risk communities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool that can be used to analyze large amounts of data and identify patterns and trends. This grand challenge seeks to identify, benchmark, and scale the adoption of AI technologies for resilience applications including proactive maintenance, resilience investment planning, or event response.

2022 webcasts will survey diverse utility resilience challenges, objectives, and activities focused on the role of AI. On August 9, a panel of two E.U. utility speakers will highlight activities and needs in their regions, followed by an open discussion with the audience.

This webinar is a part of the 2022 AI.EPRI Energy System Resilience Grand Challenge activities are being coordinated by Dr. Liang Min from Stanford and Dr. Sara Mullen-Trento from EPRI. This work will be closely coordinated with related Stanford Bits & Watts initiative and EPRI initiatives, including EPRI's launching Climate Resilience and Adaptation Initiative (READi) and the Value of Resilience Interest Group.

Speakers:
Luis Manuel Santos Moro, Head of Innovation, EDP Spain
Federico Falorni, TERNA, Italy

Moderators:
Liang Min, Managing Director of Bits & Watts, Stanford University
Sara Mullen-Trento, Sr. Technical Leader, EPRI
