Eddie-Erasmus

Field test Athens

Overview

Stemming from the development of the Blueprint strategy of the EDDIE project and its different elements, the piloting activities are being designed to test the applicability and relevance of the results. The activities are chosen in order to test a wide range of BSDE parts and reach a variety of target groups.

Field test Athens

To complement and enhance the pilot activities of the EDDIE project, a set of actions will take place in the National Technical University of Athens, in Greece, that will be integrated into the existing educational activities, yet they will incorporate the work of EDDIE. The process of designing and later implementing the pilot activities will be based on the skills gaps, as identified in WP2, that are crucial for the digital transformation of the Energy Sector, as they are expressed by the industry needs, which were identified by EDDIE.

Lectures on Local energy markets, energy communities and blockchain applications

The lectures will focus on Local Energy Markets (LEM) and the role of blockchain technology in securing the decentralized coordination of distribution grids. The content of the lectures is being developed with the aim to mitigate part of the skill gaps identified through the EDDIE project on the skill gaps that these lectures are targeting, which are digital platforms, blockchain, computing tools & platforms, mathematical optimization and data analysis. This pilot activity will be divided in two 45-minute lectures to MSc students.
Target Group = Master’s students
EQF Level = 7
Main stakeholders = NTUA, MSc on Energy production and management, EDDIE
Part/s of Blueprint Strategy tested = Levers to reduce skills gaps, Design of recommendations and overall action set, general templates, best practices
Results delivered to EC = Digital platforms, Blockchain, computing tools and platforms, mathematical optimization, data analysis
Contents = Two 45-minute lectures on local energy markets and blockchain applications

Lectures on AI applications on energy systems: Dynamic security and forecasting

The lectures will focus on AI applications on energy systems and specifically on dynamic security and forecasting. The content of the lectures is developed based on artificial Intelligence, mathematical optimization, forecasting, data analysis, machine learning as identified skill gaps. This pilot activity will be divided in two 45-minute lectures to MSc students.
Target Group = Master’s students
EQF Level = 7
Main stakeholders = NTUA, MSc on Energy production and management, EDDIE
Part/s of Blueprint Strategy tested = Levers to reduce skills gaps, Design of recommendations and overall action set, general templates, best practices
Results delivered to EC = Artificial Intelligence, mathematical optimization, forecasting, data analysis, machine learning
Contents = Two 45-minute lectures on “Application of supervised machine learning for dynamic safety assessment in electrical power systems” and “Introduction to RES production forecasting”.

Introductory lecture into MOOC on advanced validation methods for smart grids

The MOOC will be organized by the H2020 project ERIGrid 2.0 and will focus on the topic of advanced validation methods for smart grids. EDDIE will participate in the MOOC with a lecture raising awareness in the educational challenges that occur due to the digitalization of the energy systems. The lecture will be available to BSc and MSc students, as well as to young professionals and researchers.
Target Group = Bachelor and master students, professionals
EQF Level = 6, 7
Main stakeholders = NTUA, EDDIE, ERIGrid 2.0
Part/s of Blueprint Strategy tested = To be discussed and determined.
Results delivered to EC = To be discussed and determined.
