DERI Seminar with Sukhil Patel from Open Climate Fix

When: Thursday, October 17, 2024, 11:00 AM - 12:00 AM
Where: Zoom

Our presenter will be Sukhil Patel , Machine Learning Engineer at Open Climate Fix .  He is part of a team who develop and implement AI solutions, enabling a high-renewables grid that is both cost-efficient and low carbon. Their work ranges from predicting how much renewable energy will be generated, to forecasting cloud movements, to opening up energy and weather datasets. Their solutions are used by grid operators and energy companies around the world to improve reliability, reduce carbon emissions and lower costs.

Title: Solar nowcasting with multi-modal machine learning
Abstract: Accurate forecasting of PV power, especially in the short term horizon, is becoming increasingly important to aid the transition to greener electricity grids. This talk will go over how Open Climate Fix has approached this complex problem by using machine learning on large amounts of weather and satellite data.
Bio: Sukhil Patel is a Machine Learning Engineer at Open Climate Fix (OCF) who is passionate about technology and its applications to reduce our climate impact. He works on developing and deploying machine learning models which are trained on large amounts of weather and satellite data. Before OCF he worked for an Energy Tech company, Kaluza, helping reduce carbon emissions and supporting flexible electricity demand through controlling, optimising and forecasting electric vehicle charging behaviour for thousands of devices.
