Publisher's Synopsis
Computer Vision and Machine Intelligence in Renewable Energy Systems offers a practical, systemic guide to the use of computer vision as an innovative tool to support renewable energy integration. This book equips readers with a variety of essential tools and applications: Part I outlines the fundamentals of computer vision and its unique benefits in renewable energy system models compared to traditional machine intelligence: minimal computing power needs, speed, and accuracy even with partial data. Part II breaks down specific techniques, including those for predictive modelling, performance prediction, market models, and mitigation measures. Part III offers case studies and applications to a wide range of renewable energy sources, and finally the future possibilities of the technology are considered. The very first book in Elsevier's cutting-edge new series Advances in Intelligent Energy Systems, 'Computer Vision and Machine Intelligence in Renewable Energy Systems' provides engineers and renewable energy researchers with a holistic, clear introduction to this promising strategy for control and reliability in renewable energy grids.
