Deep Learning for Sustainable Energy: A Journey


Overview

In the current era marked by a surging demand for energy, the emphasis on sustainable energy sources is more crucial than ever. Among these, Solar Energy stands out as a pivotal contributor to renewable energy. However, the effective utilization of solar energy necessitates precise forecasting, a critical aspect from both grid planning and regulatory standpoints. The challenges in India are particularly noteworthy due to the diverse climate regions with their unique intricacies. It has been observed that conventional forecasting models often exhibit limitations in performance. In this presentation, we aim to shed light on our research endeavors, featured in prominent academic journals and conducted in collaboration with the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). Our discussion will delve into the challenges prevailing in the current state-of-the-art methodologies and outline our systematic approach to address these challenges step by step.
