Overview / Usage

Energy companies in Hawaii have started to use solar energy harvested in power plants as a more cost-effective alternative to provide energy to consumers. A problem with this renewable alternative is the dependence on weather, and consequent unpredictability of the next day solar irradiation.

In the University of Hawaii at Manoa ICS department together with Hawaiian Electric (HECO), I've investigated how to identify such patterns using probabilistic models and information theory.
