Title:

AI Assisted Prediction and Optimization of Renewable Grid Assets at Summerside Electric

Agreement Number:

912812

Agreement Value:

$50,000.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 4, 2018 - Dec 14, 2018

Description:

This pilot project addresses the challenges and opportunities for the City of Summerside renewable smart grid and power exchange with the New Brunswick (NB) grid to reduce energy costs by using more renewables and less grid and diesel generated power. The overall objective of this project is to estimate how and to what extent this cost can be reduced with Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistance. This project will build AI models in BluWave-ai’s distributed AI platform. These models will be trained with Summerside smart grid data and use a simulation model to show the projected improvements in operational efficiency, increasing the use of renewable energy and storage, reducing the consumption of diesel generation and grid power.
