Two new projects are ongoing. More updates will be available soon.
Accurate federated Learning with uncertainty quantification for DER forecasting Applied to sMart Grids planning and Operation (ALAMO)
The ALAMO project aims to address the challenges posed by the increasing integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) into power grids while ensuring the privacy of consumers and accounting for uncertainties in forecasting models. The primary objectives include the development of accurate forecasting algorithms using Federated Learning, quantification of epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty in these models, and their integration into operational planning tools for Distribution System Operators (DSOs).

Shift to Direct Current (SHIFT2DC)
The SHIFT2DC project is a forward-thinking initiative focused on revolutionizing how we use electricity. Its main objective is to promote the use of direct current (DC) power solutions at both medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) levels, making our electrical systems more efficient and sustainable.
The proposed solutions will be tested in different environments, including ports in the Portuguese Demonstrator. Port facilities typically have unique energy demands due to their extensive operations, making them an essential focus. The project will explore how DC power can improve efficiency, lower costs, and reduce environmental footprints in port operations.
