Data Processing for Utility Infrastructure
Our group aims to tackle the challenges faced in the utility/industrial/real estate infrastructure through statistical, Machine Learning and Deep Learning approaches with an emphasis to mitigate climate change. To this end, we focus on digitizing and integrating data from heterogenous sources, embedding knowledges and enable techniques that increase operational efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. We deal with time-series data (e.g., consumption data from smart meters), GIS data (e.g., network topology, geolocations of network components), SCADA data (network performance, e.g., pumps). Our current research revolves around database modelling, development of digital twin for utility networks (e.g., as a knowledge graph) as well as ML and DL algorithms for different applications such as load predictions, time-series clustering, anomaly detection/localization and data exploration.
UtilityTwin
Start: September 1, 2021
End: August 31, 2024
Description:
In the UtilityTwin research project, an intelligent digital twin for any energy or water supply network is to be researched and developed on the basis of adaptive high-resolution sensor data (down to the sub-second range) and machine learning techniques. Overall, the technology concepts BigData and AI are to be combined in an innovative way in this research project in order to make positive contributions to the implementation of the energy transition and to counteract climate change.
