C3 Energy Hosts Data Science for Sustainability EventC3 Energy hosted more than 100 data scientists, product managers, investors, engineers, and entrepreneurs at its Redwood City, Calif., headquarters last week for a Data Science for Sustainability meet up to discuss machine learning and data analysis for energy systems. C3 (News - Alert) Energy Chief Data Scientist Zico Kolter provided an in-depth look into research around producing probabilistic forecasts for energy systems, spanning demand forecasting, price forecasting, and renewable forecasting. "Machine learning takes a straightforward concept-using mathematical equations that can learn from data-to refine complex big data sets and reveal meaningful insights. It's a technique thathas been used commonly at leading technologies companies, like Google, Amazon, Netflix, or Twitter (News - Alert), but its applications for utilities have the potential to revolutionize the modern energy system," said Kolter. As an industry-recognized expert on machine learning and a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon, Kolter earned his doctorate in computer science at Stanford University and conducted extensive postdoctoral research at the MIT (News - Alert) Computer Science Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. He has worked on problems ranging from energy analysis of homes and buildings, probabilistic forecasting of energy demand and generation, wide-area control of grid generation, and assessing asset risk from weather events in distribution networks.
