AIPREF 2024

DESCRIPTION

The European Green Deal, an extremely ambitious set of policies that should allow European citizens and businesses to profit from a sustainable green transition, aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

Renewable energy sources such as solar, and wind, are therefore becoming increasingly popular due to their clean and sustainable nature.

The use of renewable energy provides a number of potential advantages, such as a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, the diversification of energy sources, and a decreased reliance on the markets for fossil fuels (especially oil and gas).

However, accurate estimation of energy production from these sources is crucial in ensuring a reliable and consistent supply. To achieve this goal, big data analysis supported by sophisticated models and forecasting techniques is required. These models have to accurately calculate the amount of energy that can be produced, which helps in planning and managing the power grid. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) comes into play. Machine learning, Deep learning models, and other AI-based technologies can analyze large amounts of data, including historical weather patterns, sensor data, and satellite imagery, to make more accurate predictions about renewable energy production. By using AI to predict renewable energy output, grid operators can better manage the supply of energy, prevent outages, and ensure that energy is distributed efficiently. Additionally, AI can help to optimize the use of energy storage systems, allowing excess energy to be stored and used during times of low production.

The AIPREF workshop is a gathering of experts in the fields of artificial intelligence and renewable energy. The purpose of the workshop is to share the latest research and developments in AI techniques for forecasting renewable energy production, such as solar and wind power.

The workshop will be of interest to researchers, engineers, and industry professionals who are working on developing AI techniques for renewable energy forecasting. It will provide an opportunity for participants to learn from one another, share best practices, and collaborate on future research and development in this important field.
