The role of artificial intelligence in modern energy markets Utility Magazine

Aidan O'Sullivan, the Head of Energy and Artificial Intelligence Research at University College London, will be presenting this year's international keynote at Australian Energy Week 2019. We caught up with Aidan ahead of the event to learn about the role AI will potentially be playing in the energy markets of the future. For background to our readers, would you be able to provide us with a brief overview of your projects and area of research? My research focuses on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning methods in the energy sector to promote efficiency and decarbonisation. This can be the use of AI at the individual customer level where I have projects with Energy Suppliers looking to estimate the uncertainty around customer consumption, or how best to engage with them through intelligent apps to encourage energy savings.
