⚡ Yesterday, we inaugurated the Elia Chair in Artificial Intelligence for Resilient Energy Infrastructure at KU Leuven. As the energy system evolves, understanding our grid becomes more complex. This new chair, supported by Elia, explores how AI can help improve the way we map, monitor and manage the high-voltage grid. 🧠 By combining data such as images, LiDAR scans and historical plans, we gain more up-to-date and reliable insights for more efficient grid management. “With this chair, we aim to use AI to better understand our grid and make it future-proof,” says Bart De Jong, Head of Grid Services North at Elia. 🤝 Led by Prof. Toon Goedemé and Prof. Patrik Vandewalle, in close collaboration with Elia. 👉 A great example of how we work with partners to build a reliable electricity system for tomorrow & next generations! #EnergyTransition #AI #Innovation #KULeuven600
