Project AI-NRGY

Distributed AI architecture for future energy systems integrating a large number of distributed sources

Professor Thierry Monteil, INSA Toulouse – IRIT

AI-NRGY’s objective is to address the major constraints of tomorrow’s energy networks (highly distributed, dynamic, heterogeneous, critical and sometimes volatile) by contributing to the implementation of distributed intelligence solutions taking advantage of different computing methods (edge, fog and cloud computing), and by proposing a software architecture as well as the methods, models and algorithms needed to implement distributed intelligence solutions likely to accelerate the digitization of energy networks.

Use cases

The project will consider different cases in which future energy systems will be used with a very large number of stakeholders, equipment and consequently data sources, and will be intermittently connected.


Software architecture and distributed AI

The focus will be on providing an adaptive distributed software architecture, in terms of service localization and data feedback, capable of satisfying performance, confidentiality or even the characteristics of support equipment and the capabilities of distributed AI algorithms.

Similarly, we plan to develop a distributed AI capable of integrating data distribution, data volatility (e.g. brought about by the use of electric vehicles) and information access dynamics.


End-user focus

The project will strive to improve the interpretability and explainability of AI-based solutions, bring greater robustness to problematic data, and simplify the chain of classical models (forecasting/optimization) in distributed applications to promote their acceptability by end-users and their large-scale deployment in smart grids.

Players will be encouraged to share their data by sharing the added value generated by their use, while respecting privacy and confidentiality.
