• Abstract summary: This paper investigates the multi-modal (MM) learning and end-to-end (E2E) learning for nowcasting renewable power as an intermediate to energy management systems. MM combines features from all-sky imagery and meteorological sensor data as two modalities to predict renewable power generation. For the first time, MM is combined with E2E training of the model that minimises the expected total system cost.

• Abstract: With the increasing penetration of renewable power sources such as wind and solar, accurate short-term, nowcasting renewable power prediction is becoming increasingly important. This paper investigates the multi-modal (MM) learning and end-to-end (E2E) learning for nowcasting renewable power as an intermediate to energy management systems. MM combines features from all-sky imagery and meteorological sensor data as two modalities to predict renewable power generation that otherwise could not be combined effectively. The combined, predicted values are then input to a differentiable optimal power flow (OPF) formulation simulating the energy management. For the first time, MM is combined with E2E training of the model that minimises the expected total system cost. The case study tests the proposed methodology on the real sky and meteorological data from the Netherlands. In our study, the proposed MM-E2E model reduced system cost by 30% compared to uni-modal baselines.

  generative, multi-purpose AI systems promise a unified approach to building machine learning (ML) models into technology. This ambition of generality'' comes at a steep cost to the environment, given the amount of energy these systems require and the amount of carbon that they emit. We measure deployment cost as the amount of energy and carbon required to perform 1,000 inferences on representative benchmark dataset using these models. We conclude with a discussion around the current trend of deploying multi-purpose generative ML systems, and caution that their utility should be more intentionally weighed against increased costs in terms of energy and emissions
