Tuhfe Göçmen on AI in the Grand Challenges of Wind Farm Flow Control

“We, the engineers, really like to see the series of logic taken in our models and decision processes. When we lose that oversight, it makes us uncomfortable,” says Tuhfe Göçmen on the challenges of AI technology in wind farm flow control.
🎬 Tuhfe is one of the authors of the Grand Challenges paper on Wind Farm Flow Control, contributing specifically to the chapter on AI and machine learning.
#Breakdown: While AI-driven algorithms for wind farm operations are becoming increasingly relevant and useful for optimised modelling, they are not yet fully reliable for field operations. A key issue is the inherent constraints of the algorithms, such as data availability, data quality, and the high computational costs involved. Additionally, training and running these large models have significant environmental impacts. Trust is another major challenge; as operations become more digital, the risk of cybersecurity threats grows, raising concerns about the reliability and safety of AI systems.

📚The paper is one of the ten Grand Challenges papers, co-written by 100 worldwide wind energy experts within the framework of IEA Wind. The papers make a case for increased resources to respond effectively to the challenges of leaping from the current 5% wind energy to the expected 50% of total electricity worldwide - quickly.
The paper is written together with Carlo Luigi Bottasso, Katherine Dykes, Paul Fleming, Pieter Gebraad, Gregor Giebel, Tuhfe Göçmen, and Jan-Willem Van Wingerden. Read it on the European Academy of Wind Energy (sponsor of the paper series):
