Successful AI Implementations in Renewable Energy Forecasting

Baua Electric

Solar, wind, hydro, and other renewable sources are rapidly replacing fossil fuels. The sun doesn’t always shine, and the wind doesn’t always blow. In a grid increasingly powered by fluctuating sources like wind and solar, forecasting accuracy becomes crucial. Schedule backup power from batteries or fossil plants.

Cuba’s Power Grid Nears Total Failure

Cars That Think

Cuba’s Renewable Energy Options Heavy crude oil isn’t Cuba’s only resource; it has a wealth of untapped renewable energy options, including solar, wind, and potentially sugarcane biomass. Pilot projects for wind farms are underway. Crucial renewable energy projects often get delayed due to bureaucratic hurdles and a lack of funding.

JRC study finds 8 metals for low-carbon energy technologies at risk of shortages; EVs, wind and solar, and lighting the applications of most concern

Green Car Congress

The applications, i.e. technologies, of particular concern as a result are electric vehicles, wind and solar energy, and lighting. Dysprosium was identified as being the most at risk, as the EU is expected to require 25% of the expected world supply in 2020-2030 to meet the Union’s demand for hybrid and electric vehicles and wind turbines.

Study: traffic density, wind and air stratification influence concentrations of NO2

Green Car Congress

The study showed that wind speed and the height of the lowest air layer are the most important factors that determine how much pollutants can accumulate locally. However, two weather parameters also have a significant influence on nitrogen dioxide concentrations: wind speed and the height of the mixing layer.
