As Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fast gaining ground across almost all boundaries of human activity, the need to examine the link between AI and energy is of paramount importance. As such AI approach and methods are already being used in myriad energy related applications. From the management of electricity grids and energy commodity trading to manufacturing of industrial energy components and specifications for nuclear power stations. As considerable further use of AI is envisaged in the energy sector it is impotent to gain a better understanding of the various applications and procedures employed.
Hence, the purpose of this introductory event is to examine the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in developing and using advanced energy systems capable of meeting the anticipated increased energy demand in the years ahead. As energy transition gathers pace and global and regional energy mixes tend to differentiate with the drive towards clean energy solutions, there will be much greater need for enhancing and optimizing the operation of complex operations in all different energy applications. AI is already playing an important role in this process and is likely to prove a catalyst in moving a step higher in the technology ladder.
In this context the IENE webinar will examine the role of AI in improving power generation from both conventional and renewable energy sources, employing CCUS in controlling industrial emissions, expanding the use of energy storage systems in electricity, developing cost effective and safe SMR’s, optimizing electricity grid management, improving energy efficiency in the built environment, optimizing energy systems in industrial processes, improving hydrocarbon exploration etc.
Needless to point out that all the above have great relevance to energy production and use in SE Europe and the East Mediterranean region, an area of distinct geopolitical and economic characteristics which the IENE covers.
Of course, it will not be feasible to examine all facets of the AI -Energy interaction in the narrow time limits of the webinar. But it will be possible by citing specific examples of AI use in energy applications to obtain a better idea of what type of issues AI can address now and in the future, in relation to energy production and use, energy planning and energy policy formulation.
