UBITECH’s Energy Digitalisation (EDG) Research Group (https://ubitech.eu/edg/) has published a new research paper introducing a conversational agentic interface that connects everyday natural language to physics-based household energy simulation. The paper, titled “A Conversational Agentic Interface to Physics-Based Household Digital Twins for Residential Energy Decision Support,” is now available on arXiv and has been accepted for presentation at the IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies (ISGT) Europe 2026 conference, taking place October 19–22, 2026 in Budapest, Hungary. The work, authored by Costas Mylonas, Titos Georgoulakis, and Dr. Magda Foti of UBITECH’s Energy Digitalisation Group, tackles a persistent bottleneck in residential energy decision-making: the gap between high-fidelity physical simulation and the people who actually need its insights. Homeowners weighing a retrofit, consultants assessing building- and district-level interventions, and retailers or aggregators estimating residential flexibility for distributed energy resource coordination have historically been forced to choose between costly, static professional audits, rough rule-of-thumb estimates that ignore household specificity, or simulation tools that demand specialised engineering expertise to operate. UBITECH’s new framework is designed to close that gap by letting any of these stakeholders query a rigorous, physics-based household model simply by describing what they want to know.

UBITECH’s Energy Digitalization Group (EDG) announces the publication of two research papers that establish rigorous, reproducible benchmarks for evaluating Large Language Model (LLM) agents on real power system engineering workflows. The papers, “PowerAgentBench-SS: A Benchmark for Agentic AI in Power System Steady-State Studies” and “PowerAgentBench-Dyn: A Benchmark for Agentic AI in Power System Dynamic Studies,” are now available on arXiv at https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.18789 and https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.20401 respectively, and will be presented at the North American Power Symposium 2026 (NAPS 2026), taking place October 11-13, 2026 at Michigan Technological University (https://www.mtu.edu/ece/naps-2026/). Both works were developed within UBITECH’s participation in PowerAgent, the open-source Agentic AI community for power systems maintained by Harvard University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (https://poweragent.seas.harvard.edu/), which EDG joined as a member of the core development team. Both papers were authored jointly by researchers from UBITECH’s Energy Digitalization Group, Harvard SEAS, Politecnico di Milano, EnliteAI, and the National Technical University of Athens, with the accompanying benchmark code released publicly through the PowerAgent Community repository at https://github.com/Power-Agent/PowerAgentBench.

UBITECH’s Energy Digitalization Group (https://ubitech.eu/edg/) announced today the publication of a peer-reviewed research paper introducing mAIEnergy, an open-access, multimodal dataset purpose-built to support Large Language Model (LLM) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications in the energy domain. The paper, titled “A Multimodal Dataset for Large Language Model Applications in the Energy Domain,” was authored by Costas Mylonas and Dr Magda Foti and has been accepted and published in Scientific Data, a journal of Nature Portfolio. The work addresses a long-standing gap in energy-sector data infrastructure: while numerical, geospatial, textual, and imagery data relevant to energy systems have long existed in scattered, single-modality repositories, no openly available corpus had previously integrated all four modalities into a single, harmonized, AI-ready resource. mAIEnergy closes that gap, providing a foundational knowledge base that energy researchers, utilities, regulators, and technology developers can use directly or extend with their own proprietary data.

UBITECH has been awarded a cascading grant from LDT4SSC — Local Digital Twins for Smart and Sustainable Communities — to deliver its pilot project, MUNICIPAL. The award positions UBITECH at the forefront of a growing European effort to make city-level digital twins interoperable, turning isolated municipal data platforms into a connected, AI-ready infrastructure for urban decision-making. MUNICIPAL is one of two sub-projects selected for funding under the LDT4SSC Open Call-1, focusing exclusively on Work Strand 1: demonstrating the interconnection of existing Local Digital Twins. Coordinated by UBITECH, the consortium brings together seven partners from Cyprus, Greece, Denmark and Spain around a shared engineering challenge — making digital twins built on different stacks, standards and governance models talk to one another reliably and securely. The MUNICIPAL pilot will link the MiMurcia and iniCOSIA local digital twin platforms via the SIMPL/CEEDS interoperability framework, enabling secure, cross-border data exchange between Murcia and Nicosia.
