Machine Learning for Renewable Energy Systems

We’re offering the Seminar on Machine Learning for Renewable Energy Systems in the Summer Term 2024.

General

The seminar starts with introductory lectures, followed by an individual working phase and presentations in the second half of term.

The aim is that at the end of the course, you will:

  • Understand the basics of renewable energy systems and the role machine learning can play to control, optimise, and understand them.
  • Be able to identify current challenges in renewable energy systems.
  • Be able to discuss machine learning approaches that address these challenges.
  • Be able to implement and present a machine learning approach to address a challenge in renewable energy systems.

What you’ll have to do

  • implement a ML method on given energy data and make code publicly available
  • present the method and results in a short presentation (12 min)
  • write a short paper about your approach (max 5 pages)
  • review papers from fellow students (peer review)
