AI and the construction of a photovoltaic farm
Artificial intelligence (AI) began to be applied to the photovoltaic farm industry on a larger scale about a decade ago, although initial experiments and implementations may have taken place even earlier.
The first applications of AI in this sector focused mainly on optimizing the performance of PV plants, managing data and forecasting energy production.
Monitoring and Diagnostics:
One of the earliest and most key applications of AI was performance monitoring and diagnostics for photovoltaic panels. AI systems began to be used to analyze sensor data in real time to identify anomalies such as damage to panels or optimize their position relative to the sun, which in turn allowed rapid response and minimized energy production outages.
Energy Production Forecasting:
AI has also found applications in forecasting solar energy production. Thanks to advanced algorithms and machine learning, the systems were able to predict the performance of photovoltaic farms based on various factors, such as weather conditions, sunlight intensity and temperature, allowing for better planning and management of the power grid.
Optimizing Placement:
Another important area where AI began to be used was in optimizing the placement of photovoltaic panels. The AI systems analyzed the terrain where the farm was to be built, taking into account sunlight, shadows cast by surrounding objects or terrain to maximize the energy efficiency of the installation.
Automation and Management:
AI has also introduced new capabilities for the automation and management of photovoltaic farms, enabling remote control of installations, automatic adjustment of the angle of the panels to the current position of the sun, or management of the flow of energy between the farm and the grid.
The first applications of AI in the photovoltaic farm industry have contributed significantly to increasing their efficiency and lowering their operating costs. With the continued development of AI technology and its increasing use, the future of this sector seems even more promising, with the potential for further automation, optimization and innovation.
