The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the renewables industry is immense. By harnessing advanced data analysis, machine learning and predictive modeling techniques, AI can revolutionize wind resource assessment and vibration analysis of wind farms.

While there are many opportunities to apply AI to wind farm development, it is essential to have an enterprise-wide AI strategy in place to protect intellectual property and proprietary data. The AI strategy should include the following components, among others:

  1. What data will be used to train the AI tool?
  2. Who has access to the intellectual property and proprietary data?
  3. Where is the intellectual property and proprietary data stored?
  4. How is the intellectual property and proprietary data protected?
  5. Who has access to the output from the AI tool?
