This project was created as part of MIT's Hands-on Deep Learning class. It is a Smart Home AI Agent that leverages: OpenAI API for energy price analysis & automation, ComEd & Bayou APIs for real-time & historical electricity data, Neural Networks (DNN) for future energy demand prediction, and Gradio Web UI for easy user interaction

This project is an example from the AI for Energy Solutions course at MIT's Independent Activities Period (IAP) that we taught. It showcases how deep learning and image classification can be applied to energy infrastructure monitoring. The system is a web application that detects and classifies faults in solar panels, capable of analyzing: clean panels, physical damage, and electrical damage. The project is designed to be accessible, beginning with a no-code approach using Google Teachable Machine, and optionally extending to coding and deployment for students looking to delve deeper into development.

This study compares the performance of traditional machine learning models against advanced deep learning architectures, for renewable energy and demand forecasting. By analyzing historical weather, energy generation, and temporal data, the research evaluates prediction accuracy for solar, wind, and electricity demand over consistent time periods.

The Energy Generation Forecast Dashboard is a comprehensive solution that empowers grid operators to make informed decisions and optimize their renewable energy operations. Powered by advanced AI and machine learning, the dashboard delivers precise, real-time predictions for wind, solar, and demand patterns, enabling operators to balance supply and demand, maximize renewable energy generation, and minimize costly inefficiencies. This dashboard provides energy generation forecasts using machine learning models trained on historical data.

Created a tool to empower homeowners and renters with actionable information to optimize their energy usage, reduce costs, and take advantage of available incentives. The tool provides tailored recommendations for energy efficiency upgrades using advanced AI technologies.
