Episode description

Power grids are becoming increasingly complex as renewable energy, electrification, extreme weather, and growing demand reshape how energy systems operate. In this video, Microsoft Research introduces GridSFM, an open foundation model for power systems that can approximate AC optimal power flow solutions in milliseconds. By combining open power grid data, machine learning, and physics-based modeling, GridSFM enables faster grid analysis, scenario evaluation, and planning for the future electric grid. Learn how open data and AI can help unlock faster, more scalable power system research. Speakers: Spencer Fowers, Andrea Britto, Weiwei Yang
