Special Sessions

AI for Renewable Energy

Resp. : A. Berrado & L. Benabbou

The use of renewable energies has experienced a spectacular boom in recent years. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, over 260 GW of additional capacity was installed worldwide in 2020, accounting for 80% of all installed capacities globally. Solar energy dominates at 48%, followed by wind energy at 43%. Between 2010 and 2019, investments in renewable energies reached $2.6 trillion US dollars. This trend has also been marked by the continued decrease in the cost of energy from renewable sources.

... show more From 2019 to 2020, the average levelized cost of energy (LCOE) decreased by 7% for photovoltaic solar and 13% for onshore wind, making these two technologies the cheapest and most competitive compared to other conventional sources such as coal and gas. Despite this success, several challenges remain to be overcome in order to improve the deployment of renewable energies and accelerate their integration into existing energy and electrical systems. The issue of predicting resource availability and energy production in energy complexes is a challenge that deserves innovative approaches to address it. To address this challenge, the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based approaches is both justified and relevant. The performance of machine learning algorithms derived from artificial intelligence is promising for predicting resource availability and energy production in renewable energies. This session will constitutes a special symposium for exchange between researchers and experts from the industrial to shed light on the role of artificial intelligence in the field of renewable energies. Organizing committee:
Loubna Benabbou (UQAR, Canada)
Zouheir Malki (IVADO,Canada)
Hanane Dagdougui (POLYMTL, Canada)
Abdelaziz Berrado (EMI, Morocco)
Important dates:
• Submission deadline: August 15th 2023
• Notification of acceptance: October 2nd 2023
• Camera-ready version: October 25th 2023
