Overview

Artificial intelligence (AI) can play a significant role in analyzing and predicting energy consumption and production patterns from renewable sources such as solar and wind (Lyu & Liu 2021). This is particularly important due to the key challenge of intermittency, where major renewable sources for electricity, such as solar and wind, are subject to the inconsistencies of the weather (Watson et al., 2022).

In this project, we investigate how AI and machine learning algorithms can optimize smart grids and other components of the energy infrastructure to manage the variability and unpredictability associated with renewable energy sources, ultimately contributing to a more stable and reliable energy supply.
