On November 5, 2022, Leave a Nest Philippines will be conducting the Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in the Philippines 2022. Aside from the Keynote Session, the conference will have 3 Panel Sessions that will explore data analytics and IT integration in different verticals. For the 3rd Panel Session, it will be focused on the use of AI technologies in the energy field. We want to share the panelists for this panel session entitled “Powering with AI and Metrics: Enhancing Hybrid Energy Systems”.
The Philippines is notorious for having electricity rates way too high for its economic level. Reasons behind this include challenges in power generation and distribution arising from the archipelagic structure of the country. Thankfully, new and improved technologies for energy generation have been sprouting to provide for off-grid areas, and a number of them are committed to generate energy more sustainably. The government also has policies to democratize the energy supply, allowing consumers to decide on their energy sources for cheaper and greener options. Adopting these new energy sources and policies requires a more complex management system, especially with a larger amount of data and information generated.
In this session, we will be introducing a technology that has effectively used the power of data analytics to allow consumers and different entities to operate efficiently under Exora Technologies with CEO Mr. Sergius Santos. Together with him, Dr. Glenn Baticados, the Program Head of Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture - Emerging Innovation for Growth Department (SEARCA-EIGD), and Ms. Maria Lourdes Dario, Director of Challenergy Philippines, will be joining the panel to give the participants further insights on how emerging technologies in renewable energy sector can be utilized and provide significant impact in the Philippines.
