Description du projet
Un nouvel outil d’IA innovant adapté au secteur de l’énergie
L’IA prend de plus en plus d’importance dans le secteur de l’énergie, contraint de répondre à la demande croissante en matière d’énergies renouvelables. Dans le cadre d’une gestion intelligente de l’énergie, les analyses basées sur l’IA peuvent contribuer à assurer un meilleur équilibre entre l’offre et la demande. C’est dans ce contexte que le projet I-NERGY, financé par l’UE, s’efforcera de faire évoluer, de mettre à l’échelle et de démontrer des applications innovantes d’analyse énergétique de type «IA en tant que service» ainsi que des services de jumeaux numériques. Ces applications seront validées grâce à des projets pilotes couvrant l’ensemble de la chaîne de valeur énergétique, depuis la gestion optimisée des actifs des systèmes d’énergie renouvelable en réseau et hors réseau jusqu’à l’amélioration de l’efficacité et de la fiabilité du fonctionnement des réseaux électriques.
Objectif
AI spreading in the energy sector is expected to dramatically reshape energy value chain in the next years, by improving business processes performance, while increasing environmental sustainability, strengthening social relationships and propagating high social value among citizens. However, uncertain business cases, fragmented regulations, standards immaturity and low-technical SMEs workforce skills barriers are actually hampering the full exploitation of AI along the energy value chain. I-NERGY will deliver: (i) Financing support through Open Calls to third parties SMEs for new energy use cases and technology building blocks validation, as well as for developing new AI-based energy services, while fully aligning to AI4EU service requirements and strengthening the SME competitiveness on AI for energy; (b) An open modular framework for supporting AI-on-Demand in the energy sector by capitalising on state-of-the-art AI, IoT, semantics, federated learning, analytics tools, which leverage on edge-level AI-based cross-sector multi-stakeholder sovereignty and regulatory preserving interoperable data handling. I-NERGY aims at evolving, scaling up and demonstrating innovative AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) Energy Analytics Applications and digital twins services that will be validated along 9 pilots, which: (a) Span over the full energy value chain, ranging from optimised management of grid and non-grid RES assets, improved efficiency and reliability of electricity networks operation, optimal risk assessment for energy efficiency investments planning, optimising local and virtual energy communities involvement in flexibility and green energy marketplaces; (b) Delivers other energy and non-energy services to realise synergies among energy commodities (district heating, buildings) and with non-energy sectors (i.e. e-mobility, personal safety/security, AAL), and with non- or low-technical domains end users (i.e. elderly people).
