Towards Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence in Grid Control

The integration of AI-based systems offers significant potential to alleviate the challenges of increasing grid complexity and decreasing operational safety margins. However, in contrast to the rapid progress of AI in research and development, the deployment in critical infrastructure faces substantial barriers. The goal of this paper is to address limitations of the regulatory and technical frameworks and to offer guidance for implementing trustworthy AI. For this purpose, we provide an in-depth analysis of the current technical and regulatory landscape to identify significant barriers. Then, we propose a process driven approach, which consists of three stages:
