Data Science for Renewable Energy

Welcome to the second meetup during this autumn! This time the focus is on renewable energy where Greenbyte will present no less than three different talks. Some of the topics that will be covered are challenges faced with data science and machine learning within the field of renewable energy, how you can work with the open-source Luigi framework as well as a deep dive into autoencoder models, model interpretability and some of their ongoing work. See abstracts below for short descriptions on each of the topics. For full abstracts please visit https://www.gaia.fish/events .

This meetup will be recorded and posted on our YouTube channel later.

FROM DIGITIZATION TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION (BY PRAMOD BANGALORE)

We at Greenbyte, as B2B service providers, focus on providing the right support to our customers to take small steps to digitally transform their businesses with fully integrated and scalable ML and AI services. In this talk, we will share our experience about challenges in using ML and AI to accelerate the process of digital transformation.

DATA SCIENCE WITH EVOLVING DATA (BY EDMUND HOOD HIGHCOCK)

We present a data science workflow, based on the open-source Luigi framework, which uses rolling data versioning and checksum-based data storage to provide all these features while running anywhere from the laptop to the cloud. Using this system we ensure that we are always up-to-date while minimizing our use of resources; a flexible, scalable, data-version-aware system.

CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM FOR WIND TURBINES BASED ON DEEP AUTOENCODERS (BY JOHANNA RENMAN)

In this presentation, we describe a strategy for designing autoencoder models that capture anomalous behaviour in SCADA data. Various hyperparameters that affect the performance of the models will be presented. Our work continues in improving the interpretability of the model and we will present the latest results from our ongoing work.

GREENBYTE

Headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden - Greenbyte is on a mission to build the data hub for renewables. With a rapidly increasing amount of renewables in the energy system, new problems appear that are solved by combining data from many sources and in large quantities. Our product, Greenbyte Energy Cloud is a data aggregation and management platform built for rapidly growing renewable energy portfolios seeking to extract more energy from renewable resources.
