Introduction

This bi-monthly seminar series explores real-world applications of physics-informed machine learning (Φ-ML) methods to the engineering practice. They cover a wide range of topics, offering a cross-sectional view of the state of the art on Φ-ML research, worldwide.  

Participants have the opportunity to hear from leading researchers and learn about the latest developments in this emerging field. These seminars also offer the chance to identify and spark collaboration opportunities. 

About the event

We perform a rare-event study on a simulated power system in which grid-scale batteries provide both regulation and emergency frequency control ancillary services. Using a model of random power disturbances at each bus, we employ the skipping sampler, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm for rare-event sampling, to build conditional distributions of the power disturbances leading to two kinds of instability: frequency excursions outside the normal operating band, and load shedding. Potential saturation in the benefits, and competition between the two services, are explored as the battery maximum power output increases.
