Forecasting Solar Power & Managing Water Using ML

Join us for our hybrid event with insightful talks combining tech and sustainability with three brilliant speakers - Dan Travers from Open Climate Fix, and two speakers from Yellow Sub, Melin Edomwonyi and Ed Holland. How you choose to join in is up to you! Join us either: - In person at the Engine Shed, Bristol for pizza, drinks and a spot of mingling before the talks. Arrive at the Engine Shed from 6pm for a 6.30pm start. - Or attend online and enjoy a welcoming and authentic Green Tech South West experience using CrowdCast. Join online from 6.20pm for a 6.30pm start. Both sessions close at 8pm. For those in person we'll move to a nearby pub for more networking. Please tell us your preference for attending when you RSVP so we can order the right amount of food and drinks and prevent food waste or hungry bellies! Forecasting solar generation - why, how and what next? Electrical grids must be balanced in terms of supply and demand at every moment in time. Solar PV however is a variable generation source, dependent on cloud cover. Open Climate Fix is developing a completely open source solution for forecasting of clouds using satellite imagery, weather forecasts and PV data. Dan will explain us to how this works, the applications, what carbon it is saving and the next steps. He'll also tell us about his journey founding Open Climate Fix. https://www.openclimatefix.org/ Reimagining water resource management using Periscope Building a SaaS green tech platform is not short on challenges! Melin and Ed will present: - Their approach to communicating applied science to a broad range of stakeholders; - How they apply these techniques to Periscope, their realtime water simulation product; - How they develop data driven modelling tools that empower users to answer their water resource questions with unparalleled speed. https://yellowsub.life/our-companies/#yellow-sub-hydro
