ZURICH - Tuesday, 09. April 2024
FluxSwiss and SwissAI have signed a collaboration agreement to explore the performance of AI in energy infrastructure modelling. The collaboration marks a first step towards AI-enabled system modelling for the energy transition.
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FluxSwiss has invested over the past years in tools to simulate various energy scenarios and their impact on its network. The collaboration with SwissAI sets out to harness AI-based analysis and forecasting expertise and technology into its approach as well as widen its scope to the entire European geography. Integrating AI holds the promise of enriching the approach with new possibilities for simulating impacts of supply and demand evolutions, policy orientations and human behaviour. In a further step AI could be integrated to model interactions across the overall energy system.
