- 5 May 2023: Models for adequacy & Security of Supply by Sebastiaan Gonzato (EnergyVille/KU Leuven) and Efthymios Karangelos (ULiège)
- Agenda:
- Introduction to adequacy and security of supply models
- The second presentation discusses generation adequacy models, which use advanced probabilistic computational techniques in comparison to current state-of-the-art assumptions (Sebastian Gonzato – EnergyVille/KU Leuven)
- This presentation includes several models: an electricity grid model and forecast error generator where uncertainties in e.g. wind and solar output are captured. In a second step, it is shown how a machine learning algorithm can greatly improve the speed and resolution of security of supply assessments (Efthimios Karangelos – ULiege)
