Title of Talk: Demystifying the Hype - Generative AI's Power and Practical Applications
Date: 8th May 2024, 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM

Abstract: Generative AI has taken the world by storm, promising to revolutionize everything from art creation to scientific discovery. However, the line between cutting-edge research and real-world applications can often blur. This talk aims to bridge that gap, exploring the core functionalities of Generative AI and its current capabilities. I will delve into the exciting possibilities across various domains. Equally important, I will discuss the practical limitations and ethical considerations surrounding this powerful technology. Through interactive examples and case studies, this session will equip you to critically evaluate the hype surrounding Generative AI and understand its true potential to impact the real world.

Title of Talk: Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Control of EV-HVAC System with Vehicle-to-Building Supply
Date: 9 th May 2024, 9.30 AM - 11.00 AM

Abstract: Rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) can result in a significant new load for buildings. However, EVs can also help with building energy management because of their demand flexibility and ability to act as buffers through discharging. Specifically, joint control of HVAC and EVs can help reduce building energy costs under a time-of-day electricity pricing regime. This talk will discuss the specifics of this operations problem and present a multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL) method to balance the HVAC and EV charging KPIs (i.e., thermal constraints and vehicle state-of-charge requirements of building users) with opportunistic power routing from vehicle-to-building. Evaluation studies will be presented that will show that, against a model-predictive control (MPC) approach with and without using EVs as buffers, the proposed multi-agent RL scales significantly better in decision time, while being slightly worse in energy costs.
