R&D NESTER REPRESENTED IN APDSI PANEL ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURES

R&D Nester was invited to participate in the MeetOn panel "Artificial Intelligence in support of the country's critical infrastructure management, the case of energy" which was organized by APDSI - Associação para a Promoção e Desenvolvimento da Sociedade da Informação.

The MeetOn launched the discussion on the role that Artificial Intelligence plays in transforming the information and knowledge society and more specifically in supporting the management of energy critical infrastructures, prompting speakers and assistance with questions such as "how this intelligence manifests itself , called artificial as opposed to biological intelligence in the animal kingdom? Where does it apply? Is it creative? How useful is it?" and contributing to the clarification through the analysis of the reasons underlying the use of Artificial Intelligence and the operational gains resulting from the adoption of this paradigm.

R&D Nester shared the application of its AI.Forecasting tool to national load forecasting, photovoltaic generation forecasting, regional load forecasting and generation (at medium voltage) and in the producer-consumer, namely in buildings, in which it obtained the 3rd place in the IEEE ODS competition on building energy consumption forecasting, as well as the applications of satellite image processing to support the management of fuel lanes, are currently being studied in the RESUCIDEMO project, which has had the contribution of REN since its inception.

These examples show evidence of the adaptability and disruptive potential of Artificial Intelligence, and also that it needs help to be creative and useful, since it needs inputs that require human creativity and ingenuity to be efficient at finding actionable relationships and patterns.

APDSI is a non-profit, public utility and Non-Governmental Organization for Development (NGDO) that mobilizes individual and collective partners around causes oriented towards digital transformation, and wants to be recognized for its decisive contribution to the development of a an inclusive, participatory and secure information society, promoting economic and social development with an impact on all citizens.
