Machine learning solutions for renewable energy systems: Applications, challenges, limitations, and future directions

Allal, Zaid, Noura, Hassan N., Salman, Ola, Chahine, Khaled·2024·Journal of Environmental Management

Abstract

The Paris Agreement, a landmark international treaty signed in 2016 to limit global warming to 2°C, has urged researchers to explore various strategies for achieving its ambitious goals. While Renewable Energy (RE) innovation holds promise, it alone may not be sufficient as critical deadlines approach. This field of research presents numerous challenges, foremost among them being the costliness of materials involved. However, emerging advancements in Machine Learning (ML) technologies provide a glimmer of hope; these sophisticated algorithms can accurately predict the output of energy systems without relying on physical resources and instead leverage available data from diverse energy platforms that have emerged over recent decades. The primary objective of this paper is to comprehensively explore various ML techniques and algorithms in the context of Renewable Energy Systems (RES). The investigation will address several vital inquiries, including identifying and evaluating existing RE technologies, assessing their potential for further advancement, and thoroughly analyzing the challenges and limitations associated with their deployment and testing. Furthermore, this research examines how ML can effectively overcome these obstacles by enhancing RES performance. By identifying future research opportunities and outlining potential directions for improvement, this work seeks to contribute to developing environmentally sustainable energy systems.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Multi-energy coordination involves high modeling complexity due to diverse constraints and dynamics, overcoming data fragmentation from historically siloed operations, addressing interoperability deficits, and navigating regulatory/market designs often ill-suited for cross-sector optimization.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
