AI DRIVEN REAL TIME MONITORING AND PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS FOR DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES IN MICROGRID
Esteves Bengui | MEL Candidate | Nov 29, 2025 Mentor: Airton Dudzevich ABSTRACT This project demonstrates a promising framework for renewable energy forecasting in environments constrained by limited historical data. By fusing physics-based modeling with GAN-powered corrections, we successfully created a workflow that circumvents the ‘cold start’ problem. While the forecasting models proved sensitive to […]
Integration of Dynamic Degradation Modeling into BESS Financial Analysis
Di Wu(Max) | MEL Candidate | Dec 2, 2025 Mentors: Heitor Schiochet, Infinite Grid Capital Abstract Traditional BESS valuation models often fail to account for the critical interplay between temperature-dependent degradation, HVAC parasitic loads, and market revenue structures. This project bridges that gap by developing a dedicated investment framework for North American utility-scale batteries.The model […]
