Why it matters for grid operators
IEEE PowerTech is the flagship IEEE PES conference in Europe; the 17th edition is co-sponsored by KU Leuven and hosted in Bruges. It is a leading forum for research on power system operation, optimisation and AI for energy — the academic home of much of the work we build on, and a place where results on topology control and congestion management get properly scrutinised.
