Course Overview

As the global pursuit of decarbonization intensifies, solar and wind energy are at the forefront of this energy revolution. The shift toward cleaner energy sources is reshaping how utilities, grid operators, and asset managers make decisions. To meet the growing complexities of intermittent renewable generation, organizations are increasingly turning to advanced analytics and artificial intelligence. In this context, the Machine Learning for Solar and Wind Energy Analytics training by Pideya Learning Academy serves as a critical capacity-building initiative for professionals aiming to harness data-driven innovation in renewable energy operations.
Machine learning, with its ability to identify patterns, forecast outcomes, and support intelligent automation, is becoming a cornerstone of renewable energy optimization. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), wind and solar will account for nearly 70% of global electricity capacity additions by 2030. Simultaneously, BloombergNEF reports that digital technologies like AI and ML could reduce energy system costs by up to 25% by improving grid efficiency and reducing unplanned outages. Moreover, McKinsey & Company estimates that advanced analytics in power generation could unlock over $200 billion in annual value, primarily through improved asset performance and operational efficiency. These figures validate the urgency of adopting ML tools that can adapt to meteorological variability, grid volatility, and diverse market dynamics.
The Machine Learning for Solar and Wind Energy Analytics program dives deep into the tools, techniques, and strategies that enable better energy predictions, smoother grid integration, and smarter asset management. Participants will explore supervised, unsupervised, and ensemble learning techniques that are tailored to solar irradiance and wind speed datasets. The course also covers time-series forecasting, feature engineering from meteorological sources, and deployment strategies for ML models within energy management systems. A dedicated focus is given to real-time generation forecasting, predictive maintenance for wind turbines and inverters, and anomaly detection in sensor data.
Participants will gain the ability to work with multi-dimensional data streams including satellite inputs, SCADA data, and IoT-based environmental sensors, ensuring model accuracy and relevance. A strong emphasis is placed on integrating ML outcomes into renewable energy dispatch planning, market bidding strategies, and policy-aligned performance monitoring. The training explores model interpretability, explainable AI in energy systems, and how to manage edge analytics in decentralized or offshore asset networks.
The course is especially designed to empower professionals to translate ML insights into strategic actions. Whether itโ€™s enhancing energy yield predictions, reducing downtime, or supporting investment decisions, the skills developed in this program will serve as a valuable asset to any renewable energy portfolio.
Key highlights integrated throughout the training include the ability to:
Forecast solar and wind generation using advanced machine learning models
Detect anomalies in turbine and inverter behavior through predictive analytics
