Portrait of Remko Uilenhoet

Remko Uijlenhoet benoemd tot Fellow van de American Meteorological Society

De American Meteorological Society heeft Remko Uijlenhoet benoemd tot Fellow vanwege zijn belangrijke bijdragen aan de hydrometeorologische wetenschappen gedurende een lange reeks van jaren. Met name zijn onderzoek naar de ontwikkeling van remote sensing technieken voor het meten van de variatie van neerslag in ruimte en tijd, onder meer cruciaal voor het begrijpen en voorspellen van hydrologische processen in stroomgebieden, heeft AMS doen besluiten Remko tot Fellow te benoemen. Een van de vernieuwingen waar Remko de afgelopen 20 jaar met studenten, promovendi en collega’s aan heeft gewerkt, is het gebruik van radiostraalverbindingen uit mobiele telecommunicatienetwerken voor het meten van neerslag, met name belangrijk in gebieden waar weinig tot geen regenmeters of weerradars zijn te vinden, zoals in de Global South.

[STAT/AP] Ariane Hanebeck: Observability Properties of Copula State Space Models

Copula state space models extend the well-known Gaussian state space models by accommodating flexible non-Gaussian dependencies and non-additive error terms. These copula models have produced interesting results in practical applications. However, the theoretical observability properties remain an open problem. We propose a novel method to address this issue. This method relies on deterministic density approximations, specifically tailored for copula models. The approach is demonstrated for various specifications of copula SSMs of interest.

Koopman operator techniques for power grid dynamic data

Koopman operator techniques for power grid dynamic data 12 september 2024 12:45 t/m 13:30 - Locatie: EEMCS-Lecture Hall Chip. 36.HB.01.600 - Door: Communication EWI | Zet in mijn agenda By Professor Yoshihiko Susuki (Kyoto University, Japan) The use of massive quantities of data in power system engineering has attracted much interest in the era of data science and AI. For real-world infrastructures that are complex and safety-critical, such as power systems, a mathematical foundation for data utilization that guarantees reliability and interpretability has been required. Since 2010, I have been working on applying a mathematical concept for nonlinear dynamical systems, called the Koopman operator, to power systems engineering. The Koopman operator enables the development of analysis and control techniques of power systems that entirely use data, while priori physical models are used. In this presentation, I will talk about my recent developments in applying the Koopman operator technique to power transmission systems, which include modal analysis and inertia estimation from dynamic data, and linear prediction of large-signal dynamics and its application to emergency control Website https://y-susuki.github.io/

PowerWeb Lunch Lecture: Martin van den Heuvel

PowerWeb Lunch Lecture: Martin van den Heuvel 19 september 2024 12:45 t/m 13:30 - Locatie: Faculty of EWI, Mekelweg 4 (Chip Hall) - Door: Martin van den Heuvel, Magnus Energy | Zet in mijn agenda “The Role of Control Room of the Future in Realising the Energy Transition - Pains and Gains” Moderator: Dr Francesco Lombardi Registration: fill the form at Abstract: To realise the energy transition, centralized, unidirectional power grids are being replaced by decentralized, multidirectional systems with hard-to-predict demand. Meanwhile, as the grid ages and electrification surges, the role of grid companies evolves from grid operators to system operators, balancing supply, demand, and capacity in increasingly shorter timeframes. This transition leads to new challenges on how the power grid is managed and requires more advanced and real-time control. Hence, it is pivotal to simulate disruption to the power grid in a controlled research environment in realising the energy transition – i.e., the Control Room of the Future. In the Control Room of the Future, IT-OT convergence (the integration of data management systems (IT) with industrial operation systems (OT)) and sophisticated Energy Management Systems (EMS) are crucial, as exemplified by high-frequency measurements, and platforms like WAMS for real-time analysis. We will discuss new functions like inertia modeling, data integration, and capacity market management, highlighting their significance in maintaining a resilient and efficient energy grid. Notably, these advancements scale from regional (DSOs) to national (TSOs) and even panEuropean levels, involving entities such as RCCs and ENTSO-E. This shift is essential for sustainability, geopolitical security, and the integrity of critical infrastructure, which speeds up the energy transition from different angles. Bio: Martin van den Heuvel is a Partner at Magnus Energy. He has over 20 years’ experience in several areas in the utilities sector, including smart meter, grid operation, control room of the future, enterprise asset management and grid digitization. With a background in mechanical engineering (TU/e, cum laude) and extensive experience in energy sector liberalization and digitization, Martin will share insights on the Control Room of the Future, along with the challenges and opportunities posed by grid congestion and the shift to balance-driven systems. Join us to understand how these changes will drive the energy transition forward.

Inneke Van Nieuwenhuyse (Hasselt University) and Prof. dr. David Wozabal (VU Amsterdam) Days 4 ECTS 1 (attendance only) | 4 (attendance + passing assignment) Course fee Free for TRAIL/Beta/ERIM members, others please contact the TRAIL office This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles of machine learning and statistical pattern recognition. It covers both the theoretical foundations and practical implementation of machine learning methods, guiding participants through the end-to-end process of data investigation using machine learning techniques. The objective is to either uncover new insights in areas with limited prior knowledge or achieve accurate predictions of future observations. Beginning with an overview and characterization of machine learning methods, the course delves into general principles for data manipulation, feature engineering, model selection, calibration, and evaluation. It then focuses on supervised learning, specifically tree-based regression and classification models, which are currently considered state-of-the-art for tabular data as well as on Gaussian processes. The morning sessions primarily emphasize theoretical aspects, while the afternoon sessions offer hands-on demonstrations of machine learning methods using Python. The course does not center around specific applications, as those are addressed in the optional project. Participants are encouraged to apply the foundational knowledge gained in the course to a machine learning application relevant to their own scientific domain. Throughout the sessions, examples of machine learning applications are provided for reference More information and registration

[AN] Michael Kniely: Thermodynamically Correct Models for Electro-Energy-Reaction-Diffusion Systems

We introduce a thermodynamically consistent framework for reaction-diffusion systems modeling the evolution of a finite number of charged species. This approach covers, in particular, a large class of inorganic semiconductor-type models. Here, thermodynamical consistency refers to charge and energy conservation and the production of entropy. This is achieved by formulating the model as a gradient flow system in Onsager form (for the concentrations and the internal energy) coupled to Poisson's equation (for the electrostatic potential).

First, we will focus on the structure of the Onsager operator and its relation to the electrostatic potential. Similarities and differences to other temperature-dependent semiconductor-type models shall be discussed as well. Another aspect is the well-posedness of the corresponding equilibrium problem. By resorting to the Lagrange formalism, one can rewrite this entropy maximization problem under the constraints of charge and energy conservation as a convex minimization problem. We will see that this problem admits a unique solution, hence, a unique thermodynamic equilibrium exists. This project is joint work with Katharina Hopf and Alexander Mielke.

[AN] Floris Roodenburg: Functional calculus for the Laplacian on weighted Sobolev spaces

In this talk, we will consider the Laplace operator with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on the half-space and on bounded C1-domains. We study this operator on Sobolev spaces with power weights measuring the distance to the boundary. These weights play an important role in the study of (stochastic) partial differential equations on domains. It is found that the Laplace operator on weighted Sobolev spaces admits a bounded holomorphic functional calculus. As a consequence, we derive new maximal regularity results for the heat equation on weighted Sobolev spaces. In case of the half-space we additionally study the Dirichlet and Neumann heat semigroup and we show that this semigroup, in contrast to the Lp-case, has polynomial growth. This is joint work with Nick Lindemulder, Emiel Lorist and Mark Veraar.
