Abstract

The AI-ESI project short for Applied Informatics for Energy System Integration seeks to bring together educational and research strengths across the partner universities to provide their students/researchers with a multidisciplinary-, 360-degree- view of sustainable energy systems engineering. The project will cover the major topics essential for energy transition towards more sustainability including renewable energy resources, energy systems integration, and energy technologies. In addition to the core energy knowledge, students will be equipped with an essential toolkit of applied informatics and energy data analytics to manage real-life energy projects and therefore making them ready for a variety of careers in the energy industry. Thus, the project will enable the students to tackle complex energy and climate challenges by developing and implementing technological concepts and solutions, understanding the energy business environment, and analysing available energy-related data through the use of artificial intelligent techniques and machine learning skills in their countries. In addition the project is designed to positively impact and support gender equality in the energy sector workforce in the academia/private sector.
