Modelling and Optimising on-farm Renewable Energy Generation and Consumption using Artificial Intelligence

The project ultimately aims to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to lower the impact on the environment by maximising the use of renewable generation and offset the use of the grid supply, therefore minimising the kWh per litre of milk cost. The research will address the cost-effective optimisation of the balance between the scaling of renewable resources, the sizing of storage capacity, and the timing of when generated energy can be consumed/stored on the farm using AI.
