35. Kathrin Kefer - Optimizing Enery Transfer using Genetic Programming and Symbolic Regression

Author: Manuel Pasieka February 14, 2023 Duration: 47:08

# Summary

Today on the show I am talking to Kathrin Kefer PhD student at the JKU and her research  at Fronius where she is optimizing single household power grids with their own photovoltaik installations to reduce costs and their dependency on the energy suppliers.

Kathrin will explain to us some of the challenges when controlling how power is used, stored and distributed in a system, as well how she has developed a control system that is applying symbolic regression in a genetic algorithm paradigm to find a balance between optimal control and realtime requirements.
