Data scientist Oisín Boydell is working on a project that seeks to democratise access to an ever-increasing volume of Earth observation data. Dr Oisín Boydell is principal data scientist and head of the applied research group at CeADAR, the SFI-funded centre for applied AI at University College Dublin (UCD). His primary research interests include trustworthy AI, deep learning, natural language processing and applications of AI to Earth observation data. After working as a software developer in the UK, Boydell returned to UCD to undertake a PhD in computer science, researching novel approaches for personalised information retrieval. Prior to joining CeADAR he worked with SMEs and multinationals on big data analytics and machine learning solutions for the telecommunications industry.

Researchers from CeADAR, Ireland's national centre for Applied Data Analytics & AI, have developed a system which uses artificial intelligence to accurately predict the amount of renewable energy that will be produced at wind farms. The new tool, FREMI (Forecasting Renewable Energy with Machine Intelligence) is a collaborative project between CeADAR and SSE Airtricity. The €370,000 project took 18 months to complete and was funded by the SEAI National Energy Research Development and Demonstration (RD&D) programme. FREMI is accurate, scalable, reliable, and maintainable, and has already been deployed 21 SSE Airtricity wind farms around Ireland which are owned and operated by its sister company, SSE Renewables. FREMI will also allow energy traders to comply with new market rules imposed by the Integrated Single Electricity Market (ISEM), the wholesale electricity market for the island of Ireland.
