The power grid of the future created with federated machine learning

Reference number
Coordinator Lindholmen Science Park AB - AI Sweden
Funding from Vinnova SEK 328 240
Project duration November 2024 - October 2025
Status Completed
Venture Advanced digitalization - Electrification
Call Advanced digitalisation - electrification in 2024

Important results from the project

The project did well in developing and evaluating how well federated machine learning as a method and framework is applicable to electricity grid data. This is the first time this has been done on real data from electricity meters at each electricity grid company, not only in Sweden but also internationally. By using Fed ML methods, data from several electricity grid companies can form the basis for ML, which enriches the amount of different user behaviors that the model is exposed to.

Expected long term effects

The long-term effects are mainly about two things: 1. That electricity grid companies start using machine learning to create different insights. 2. That electricity grid companies develop common models and solutions which will accelerate the use of AI/ML. This will improve the electricity grid companies´ ability to support the industry´s need for more electrical power.

Approach and implementation

The project followed the schedule well, but was slightly delayed due to difficulties in obtaining data. The delay was managed, and most objectives were reached. The only unmet goal was creating typical load profiles, mainly due to a lack of personnel resources at participating grid companies. Cooperation was very successful and will continue.
