Computer Vision and Deep Learning for Electricity - PyImageSearch

Universal access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable modern energy is a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). However, lack of sufficient power generation, poor transmission and distribution infrastructure, affordability, uncertain climate concerns, diversification and decentralization of energy production, and changing demand patterns are creating complex challenges in power generation. According to the 2019 International Energy Agency (IEA) report, 860 million people lack access to electricity, and three billion people use open fires and simple stoves fueled by kerosene, biomass, or coal for cooking. As a result, over four million people die prematurely of the illnesses associated. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a great potential to lower energy costs, cut energy waste, and facilitate and accelerate the use of renewable and clean energy sources in power grids worldwide. In addition, it can help improve the planning, operation, and control of power systems.
