Shell.ai Hackathon for Sustainable and Affordable Energy
Windfarm Layout Optimisation Challenge
Problem Statement: Optimise the placement of wind
turbines in an offshore location for maximised annual
energy production.
About the challenge:
The energy transition and digitalisation are two
mega-trends that will affect the world in the
coming decades. A planet with more people and
rising living standards will need more and
cleaner energy solutions. We must reduce carbon
emissions to tackle climate change. Shell believes
that digitalisation and AI are critical enablers to
support our ambition to be a net zero energy
company. Shell has been an early adopter of AI,
and the use of digital technologies continues to
transform Shellʼs business, from machine learning
to computer vision, deep learning to virtual
assistants and autonomous vehicles to robotics.
We see great potential in producing renewable
power from wind.
About the hackathon:
We are organising a hackathon for sustainable
and affordable energy, with a General and a
Special University Edition, focusing on windfarm
layout optimisation. We invite you to optimise the
placement of wind turbines in an offshore
location for maximized annual energy
production. Pre-register now!
