🔮 Predicting future energy needs with AI and machine learning New technologies are enabling energy system operators to match supply to demand. ⚡️ Because renewable sources like wind and solar are subject to variability, providers are using AI algorithms to predict how much renewable energy will be available at any given time. “Intelligent forecasting empowers grid operators, energy producers, and traders to make well-informed decisions regarding energy generation, distribution, and consumption, thereby ensuring stability and optimising efficiency." says Christopher Raithle @ PUSH 👀 These 19 startups are using AI algorithms to analyse weather forecasts, real-time conditions, and historical data, helping operators to predict how much renewable energy will be available so they can better balance supply and demand ⚖️ Want a 5 minute round up on the opportunities, challenges and current market 3 case studies on emerging talent?
