Description

This module focuses on applying advanced machine learning techniques to solve problems in the energy sector. The module is built around some of the most challenging energy-related problems, including:
Ìý
Short-term forecasting (load, price, renewables generation)Ìý
Power systems operationÌý
Battery optimisationÌý
Remote sensingÌý
Ìý
These topics will be discussed in detail, covering the current academic literature and state of the art, providing you with the domain expertise required to choose and develop methods which are appropriate for the problem. The module covers the following topics in machine learning:

Computer vision modelsÌý
Time series modelling with deep learning
Reinforcement learning
Feature engineering
Model selection
Ensembling methods
Ìý
You will learn the skills necessary to deploy machine learning models in the real world. Module will cover methods for building pipelines to automate data cleaning, model selection, training, and deployment. In addition, you will cover the practical and computational considerations of implementing machine learning methods and how these can be addressed. The course will be taught in the Python programming language.
