AI Assisted Prediction and Optimization of Renewable Grid Assets at Summerside Electric
FY 2018-19 · 2018-09-04
Summary
This pilot project addresses the challenges and opportunities for the City of Summerside renewable smart grid and power exchange with the New Brunswick (NB) grid to reduce energy costs by using more renewables and less grid and diesel generated power. The overall objective of this project is to estimate how and to what extent this cost can be reduced with Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistance. This project will build AI models in BluWave-ai’s distributed AI platform. These models will be trained with Summerside smart grid data and use a simulation model to show the projected improvements in operational efficiency, increasing the use of renewable energy and storage, reducing the consumption of diesel generation and grid power.

The overall objective of this project is to estimate how and to what extent this cost can be reduced with Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistance.

Description (French)
Ce projet pilote aborde les défis et les opportunités du réseau intelligent renouvelable de la ville de Summerside et de son échange d’énergie avec le réseau du Nouveau-Brunswick (NB) afin de réduire les coûts énergétiques en utilisant davantage d’énergies renouvelables et moins d’énergie générée par le réseau et le diesel. L’objectif général de ce projet est d’estimer comment et dans quelle mesure ce coût peut être réduit avec l’aide d’intelligence artificielle (IA). Ce projet construira des modèles d’intelligence artificielle sur la plate-forme distribuée IA de BluWave-ai. Ces modèles seront formés avec les données du réseau intelligent de Summerside et utiliseront un modèle de simulation pour montrer les améliorations projetées d'efficacité opérationnelle, augmentant l'utilisation d'énergies renouvelables et le stockage, réduisant la consommation de production de diesel et d'électricité du réseau.
