  Until very recently, distribution-led local flexibility markets were exclusively an academic endeavor, with few practical applications, mostly limited to small-scale innovation projects. However, with European regulation finally catching up with the realities of modern distribution networks, local flexibility markets are slowly becoming a reality - new ones popping up across the continent, or some even becoming a BAU option in the most advanced countries.

  The Role of Microgrids in Enhancing Power System Resilience against Natural Disasters

  ​​Nikos D. Hatziargyriou, Professor Emeritus, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)

  Jan 30, 12:00 - 13:00

  Auditorium between B4 and 5

  Power system resilience is defined as the ability of power grids to anticipate, withstand, adapt and recover from high-impact, low-probability (HILP) events. There are long-term and short-term measures that system operators can apply to enhance resilience. Long-term measures include infrastructure hardening and resilient planning, while short-term operational measures are applied in the pre-event, during-event and post-event phases. Microgrids (MGs) can effectively enhance resilience for both transmission and distribution systems due to their ability to operate in a controlled, coordinated way when connected to the primary power grid and in islanded mode. In this presentation, MG-based operational measures for resilience enhancement will be presented, including MG-based resilient operational planning, the systematic formation of MGs after natural disasters hit the system and the role of MGs in power system restoration.

Following this, we employ a transformer-based network with a self-attention mechanism to predict the crossing intentions of pedestrians. This pipeline enhances the model's robustness and accuracy in classification tasks. We assessed our framework using the famous JAAD dataset. Performance metrics indicate that our model achieves state-of-the-art results while ensuring significantly low inference times.
