Energy Academy Extended Session at GTU

An extended session of the Presidium of the Georgian Energy Academy was held at the Georgian Technical University, where members discussed projects to be implemented in the energy sector, the possibilities of integrating renewable energy sources, and the role of artificial intelligence in the energy sector.

The extended session of the Presidium of the Energy Academy was attended by leading specialists and researchers in the field, including the President of the Supervisory Board of the Georgian Technical University, Professor Zurab Gudavadze, the Dean of the Faculty of Power Engineering, Professor Ketevan Kutateladze and professors of the same faculty, Marita Arabidze, Head of the Department of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Policy and Sustainable Development of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, experts, as well as representatives of energy companies and energy organizations.

At the meeting, chaired by the President of the Energy Academy, Paata Tsintsadze, graduates of the Georgian Technical University and representatives of the Georgian State Electrosystem presented presentations on the following topics: the progress of the Black Sea Power Transmission Cable project and the progress of the electricity market reform, and the opportunities and barriers for the integration of renewable energy into the Georgian electrosystem.

Specialists, researchers, and experts in the field also discussed issues related to the role and capabilities of artificial intelligence in energy.

According to the Dean, Professor Ketevan Kutateladze, of the Faculty of Power Engineering of the Georgian Technical University, the issues discussed at the extended session of the Presidium of the Energy Academy are significant for understanding the processes taking place in the energy sector and planning the country’s energy future.

“The issues discussed at the meeting determine the strategic directions of the development of the country’s energy sector. Scientists, teachers, and students of the GTU Faculty of Power Engineering are actively involved in ongoing research and educational activities in this direction. It is noteworthy that we are developing projects that utilize artificial intelligence for enhancing energy efficiency, integrating renewable energy, and creating innovative models for managing energy systems. It is especially worth noting the importance of artificial intelligence, which can be used in energy not only for data analysis and system optimization, but also for the implementation of smarter models for forecasting and energy resource management. We believe that the integration of artificial intelligence in the energy sector will increase the reliability of systems; it will reduce losses and give positive results in the direction of green transformations. In this process, the synthesis of science, education, and technology plays a decisive role, which is necessary for the Georgian energy sector, for sustainability and technological progress,” notes Ketevan Kutateladze.
