There is a new method for monitoring the state of the national electrical grid and it has earned Bruna Tavares the REN award, amounting to €12,500. Imagine a robot with a path to follow. Along that path, the robot receives light and acoustic signals to guide it. It must combine these signals in order to form an internal map that allows it to understand the exterior reality. Let us now apply the same concept to the electrical system in order to understand the new method proposed by the researcher, which essentially consists of producing, in a similar manner, a sensor fusion of signals received by different devices in order to better understand the state of the national electrical grid. This was the prize winner of this year's edition of the oldest Portuguese award acknowledging scientific contributions.
