AI for Energy: Smart Grid, Generation Forecasting & Predictive Maintenance Training

Generation forecasting, smart grid, predictive maintenance and EPDK-compliant AI architecture — an end-to-end hands-on program tailored to Türkiye's energy sector.

About This Course

About This Training


Türkiye is entering a critical digital transformation period for the energy sector — driven by the Net Zero 2053 target, rapid renewable capacity growth, the maturing balancing market, and EPDK's algorithmic supervision agenda. Generation companies, distribution operators, industrial-zone (OSB) energy units and YEKA investors are turning AI from a "nice to have" into an operational necessity for generation forecasting, predictive maintenance, non-technical loss analytics and balancing market optimization.


This 2-day hands-on training is designed for technical and management teams across both generation (wind, solar, hydro, cogeneration, gas) and distribution sides of the energy sector. It teaches — through applied scenarios — how to enrich smart meter (AMI), SCADA, OT sensor, EPİAŞ market price and weather data streams with AI; which forecasting models best fit Türkiye's climate and grid characteristics; how to build a compliant architecture under KVKK + EPDK + EU AI Act; and how to take an AI pilot to production in 90 days.



What You Will Learn



  • Generation forecasting for wind (RES), solar (GES) and hydro (HES) plants — ARIMA, Prophet, LSTM, Temporal Fusion Transformer

  • Predictive maintenance and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimation for transformers, turbines, inverters, breakers and switchgear

  • Non-technical loss anomaly detection and fault location using AMI and SCADA data

  • Price forecasting and bid optimization for the Balancing Market, Day-Ahead (GÖP) and Intra-Day (GİP) markets

  • AI-supported architecture for EPDK reporting, CBAM, Türkiye ETS and ESG disclosures

  • Compliant energy-AI system design under KVKK and the EU AI Act, with on-prem / hybrid data residency

  • Enterprise architecture for joining SCADA + AMI + weather + ERP + EPİAŞ data

  • A 90-day pilot roadmap and KPI framework (MAPE, RUL accuracy, loss ratio, balancing penalty)



Sectoral Focus



  • Generation: EÜAŞ; renewable IPPs (Enerjisa Generation, Aksa, Akenerji, Zorlu, Bereket, Aydem, Alarko); cogeneration and YEKA tenders

  • Transmission & Distribution: TEİAŞ; operators of the 21 distribution regions (BEDAŞ, AYEDAŞ, Enerjisa Distribution, Toroslar, Başkent, GDZ, Vangölü, Çoruh, Fırat, Boğaziçi, etc.)

  • Trading & Market: EPİAŞ members, balancing market participants, GÖP/GİP traders, bilateral contract parties

  • Industrial & OSB: Cogeneration operators, OSB energy management units, captive-generation industrials (cement, steel, glass, textile)

  • Renewables & Hydrogen: Unlicensed producers, rooftop PV, YEKA RES/GES winners, hydrogen-economy investors



Hands-On Labs


Throughout the training, participants work on real (anonymized) datasets and sectoral scenarios: improving the daily MAPE of a GES generation forecast, customer-level anomaly scoring on AMI data, early warning from turbine vibration data (vibration-based RUL), RAG-based document summarization for EPDK monthly reports, AI-supported architecture for CBAM Scope 1-2 emission calculation, and bid-signal generation to minimize balancing market penalties.



Why This Training Matters for Türkiye


EPDK's expected algorithmic supervision framework for 2026, the EU AI Act entering into force for high-risk systems on 2 August 2026, CBAM reporting becoming a trigger for Türkiye's energy-intensive exporters, and the Net Zero 2053 roadmap together make AI investment in energy companies a non-deferrable agenda. This training prepares applicable AI solutions within the real constraints of the Türkiye energy ecosystem — high non-technical losses, rapid post-YEKDEM transition, and the profitability pressure of the balancing market.
