ALBAWABA - Firat University's Faculty of Engineering in Turkey is using artificial intelligence to improve solar panel performance in arctic climes.
According to AA, Leading by Associate Professor Dr. Mehmet Daş, the team uses data-driven insights and cutting-edge AI technology to revolutionize energy generation in severe situations.
The initiative is part of the 8th National Antarctic Scientific Expedition led by Prof. Dr. Burcu Özsoy and financed by TÜBİTAK MAM's Polar Research Institute.
A device prototype featuring solar radiation, humidity, temperature, and wind speed sensors was deployed throughout the expedition, yielding promising results. The team collected data on arctic solar energy potential despite poor weather.
Dr. Daş stressed the relevance of renewable energy research for countries like Turkey that want to settle in Antarctica. He stressed the necessity for green energy solutions in distant and fragile ecosystems.
Future objectives include integrating AI algorithms to optimize energy production and testing wind energy in arctic regions.
This innovative research advances renewable energy technology and emphasizes the need of environmental stewardship in scientific growth.
Polar weather hampered data collection to six days of the voyage. The acquired raw data was sent to them online.
The team found that one solar panel produced 21 watts under frigid circumstances, according to Dr. Daş. This discovery offered hope for solar energy in such situations.
AI is also used in their study. They want mathematical calculations to answer "How much energy can you generate using these panels in any climate condition throughout the year?
