AI and the Energy Sector

A onprofit electricity research and development organization, EPRI, https://www.epri.com/, announced a collaboration with Microsoft to develop and deploy AI solutions for the energy sector. 

The OpenPower AI consortium will collaborate with energy companies globally in an effort to enhance grid reliability, improve workforce safety, advance forecasting and planning models and achieve real-time grid intelligence by using artificial intelligence. EPRI announced the launch of the OpenPower AI consortium at Nividia's GTC conference https://msites.epri.com/opai  last month, stating that the effort hopes to drive the development and deployment of an OpenAI model tailored to the power sector.

The consortium will focus on three primary areas. 

The first is to develop and maintain open-source AI models, data sets, libraries, as well as optimizing power sector specific challenges.
