To do this in a secure way Statnett needs to develop new ways of monitoring the Norwegian transmission grid, involving efficient AI tools along with efficient handling of big data with high time-series resolution.</p><p> </p><p>To improve the efficiency in secure power supply through operations and monitoring, Statnett has installed a prototype of &#34;Digital Substation&#34;. Digital Substation opens up the possibility for use of AI along with Edge Computing on large amounts of high-resolution time-series data. In order to take advantage of the full potential of these measurements, there is a strong need of developing AI algorithms able to do real-time analyses of such data.</p><p> </p><p>Your immediate leader will be the Group leader of Manufacturing Engineering at IVB.<br /><br /> </p><br /><h2>About the project</h2><p>In this project, we will take advantage of collaborating with the academic environment connected to the large experiments at <a href="https://home.cern/" rel="nofollow">CERN</a>, the world’s largest laboratory for experimental high-energy physics. The CERN experiments have been pioneering developments of ultra-fast deep learning algorithms for online monitoring and anomaly detection over the last decade. </p><p> </p><p>The PhD candidate will in collaboration with Statnett, CERN, ETH Zürich, and the University of Oslo develop deep learning online monitoring and anomaly detection algorithms tailored to the specific characteristics of the data originating from Statnett’s Digital Substation.
