AI Forum 2023 | Harnessing AI for a Greener Tomorrow: From Precise Carbon Monitoring to Intelligent Energy Optimization

In the pressing quest for carbon neutrality by the 2050s, traditional approaches often fall short, especially in accurately monitoring emissions and optimizing energy use. Addressing this, Microsoft’s pioneering research harnesses the potential of AI, transcending prior limitations. Our innovations provide fine-grained estimations of carbon emissions and sinks, even in the face of incomplete or varied data sets. Furthermore, with a keen focus on wind and solar power, AI’s predictive and optimization capabilities are being tapped to ensure both precise energy forecasts and maximal utility from renewable sources. The horizon of our research also encompasses smart battery management, where AI tools are employed to forecast battery degradation, streamline charging protocols, and refine power-grid operations, mitigating energy consumption fluctuations. Adding another dimension, advanced AI techniques, especially reinforcement learning, are employed to intelligently control power across distributed energy facilities, ensuring efficiency without compromising performance.
