💲 Innovation in the Renewables sector! 💲 The UK government has allocated £1.73 million to eight projects focusing on AI development within renewables. These initiatives range from improving the accuracy of weather forecasting for solar energy to using AI to optimise energy efficiency within buildings. The funding comes from the government’s AI for Decarbonisation Innovation Programme, part of the £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio. Notably, this follows previous funding rounds, including last year's establishment of the UK’s Artificial Intelligence for Decarbonisation’s Virtual Centre for Excellence. Among the recent winners, awarded as part of Stream 3, funding was divided into three sectors: electricity generation and distribution, transport decarbonisation, and land use for renewables. Notable projects include the University of Nottingham's work on improving solar energy forecasting, Carbon Laces Solutions' development of smart grid technology, and Flexible Power Systems' AI optimisation of electric fleet operations. Ministers Amanda Solloway and Viscount Camrose praised these projects, highlighting the role of AI in enhancing renewables and achieving net-zero ambitions. In the grand scheme of things, its only a small investment, however it shows that we're taking the right steps as a country to take advantage of AI to make Renewable Technology even more effective! #renewableenergy #netzero #AI #artificialintelligence
