The goal of the project is to enable the efficient management of energy distribution grids and associated assets.
According to Mònica, the ambitious goals of EU Commission's Green Deal exist within the realm of possibility and BD4OPEM can help "by applying artificial intelligence techniques and in particular machine learning".
Because - among other things - both AI and Machine Learning when applied "enable services that improve the management of electrical grids with high penetration of renewables".
