Thanks To Renewable And Machine Learning


Google currently Forecasts The Wind

Wind farms have historically created less cash for the electricity they turn out as a result of they need been unable to predict however windy it'll be tomorrow.

“The approach plenty of power markets work is you have got to schedule your assets every day ahead,” aforementioned archangel Terrell, the pinnacle of energy market strategy at Google. “And you tend to urge stipendiary higher after you try this than if you sell into the market time period.

“Well, however do variable assets like wind schedule every day ahead after you do not know the wind goes to blow?” Terrell asked, “and however are you able to really reserve your home in line?”


“We're not obtaining the complete profit and therefore the full worth of that power.”

Here’s how: Google and therefore the Google-owned AI firm DeepMind combined weather information with power information from 700 megawatts of wind energy that Google sources within the Central us. exploitation machine learning, they need been ready to higher predict wind production, higher predict electricity provide and demand, and as a result, cut back operative prices.

“What we've been doing is functioning in partnership with the DeepMind team to use machine learning to require the weather information that is out there in public, really forecast what we predict the wind production are succeeding day, and bid that wind into the day-ahead markets,” Terrell aforementioned in a very recent seminar hosted by the Stanford Precourt Institute of Energy. Stanford denote video of the seminar last week.


The result has been a twenty p.c increase in revenue for wind farms, Terrell aforementioned.

The Department of Energy listed improved wind prognostication as a primary priority in its 2015 Wind Vision report, mostly to enhance reliability: “Improve Wind Resource Characterization,” the report aforementioned at the highest of its list of goals. “Collect information and develop models to enhance wind prognostication at multiple temporal scales—e.g., minutes, hours, days, months, years.”

Google’s goal has been additional sweeping: to clean carbon entirely from its energy portfolio, that consumes the maximum amount power as 2 San Franciscos.

Google achieved associate degree initial milestone by matching its annual energy use with its annual renewable-energy procural, Terrell aforementioned. however the corporate has not been carbon-free in each location at each hour, that is currently its new goal—what Terrell calls its “24x7 carbon-free” goal.

“We're extremely getting down to flip our efforts during this direction, and we're finding that it is not one thing that is simple to try to to. It's arguably a rocket launching, particularly in places wherever the renewable resources of these days don't seem to be as value effective as they're in different places.”

The scientists at London-based DeepMind have incontestible that AI will facilitate by increasing the market viability of renewables at Google and on the far side.

“Our hope is that this sort of machine learning approach will strengthen the business case for alternative energy and drive more adoption of carbon-free energy on electrical grids worldwide,” aforementioned DeepMind program manager Sims American Revolutionary leader and Google engineer Carl Elkin. in a very Deepmind diary post, they define however they boosted profits for Google’s wind farms within the Southwest Power Pool, associate degree energy market that stretches across the plains from the Canadian border to north Texas:


“Using a neural network trained on wide out there weather forecasts and historical rotary engine information, we tend to designed the DeepMind system to predict wind-power output thirty six hours prior to actual generation. supported these predictions, our model recommends the way to create optimum hourly delivery commitments to the ability grid a full day prior to.”

The DeepMind system predicts wind-power output thirty six hours prior to, permitting power producers to form ... [+] additional remunerative advance bids to produce power to the grid.

 What happens in a minute?

What in the world can happen in a minute? With the digitalization of the world, most people are becoming one with the world through the World Wide Web. In this process, we may not know what people around the world do digitally in a minute.

With the digitalization of the world, there has been a huge increase in the use of human digitized content between 2017 and 2018. According to a report published by Word WideWave, in 2017, 900,000 people used Facebook per minute, but in one year, it has increased to 973,000. In 2017, 3.5 million people used Google per minute, but in one year it increased to 3.7.

Similarly, the number of social network Twitter users has increased by 29,000 per minute in the last one year. Twitter, which had 452,000 users in 2017, was used by 481,000 users in one minute in 2018. The number of people using YouTube in one minute has also increased significantly. In 2017, about 4.1 million people opened YouTube in one minute, compared to 4.3 million last year.



According to last year's data, people received about 187 million emails per minute, up from 156 million in 2017.

Misuse of social media, falling into the trap of the law

Have you ever teased or humiliated someone using social media or electronic media? Or have you insulted someone electronically by saying yes? If you do, you may be subject to severe penalties. For the sake of fun, yes, he is my man.
The Information Technology Bill 2075, which was introduced by the government in the federal parliament and has been under discussion since Wednesday, has defined such acts as a punishable offense. The government has presented the bill in the federal parliament with the aim of making electronic media decent, dignified and systematic.

The bill clearly defines the use of social media or electronic systems as a punishable offense for harassing and teasing another person. Some are even prohibited from humiliating, discouraging, insulting, or reprimanding others. In case of such act, the offender will be fined up to Rs. 1 million or five years imprisonment or both depending on the amount of the offense.


Article 85 of the bill, entitled No to Sexual Harassment, states, "No one shall be subjected to any form of sexual harassment or intimidation or intimidation through the electronic system in accordance with the prevailing law."

There is a provision of fine up to Rs. 500,000, imprisonment for five years or both depending on the amount of such offense. No pornographic material will be produced, collected, communicated, distributed, published, displayed, disseminated and even sold through electronic system.

Similarly, the bill has also made strict legal provision on the issue of not being tempted and misusing the system through electronic system. Even if he proposes with the intention of committing sexual exploitation or cheating or any other illegal act, he should be a party to the punishment.
Similarly, the bill has made provision for not doing anything that could disrupt the relationship between Nepal's sovereignty, integrity, nationality or national unity, independence or federal unit through electronic means. A fine of up to Rs 1.5 million or five years imprisonment and both are provided for such offenses.


Personal details cannot be collected without permission

Is no one misusing your personal details in electronic form? If so, doing so would now be considered a punishable offense. The bill has made provision that no one can collect personal details in electronic form except in accordance with the prevailing law.

Those who collect personal details illegally are barred by the bill's information security and privacy provisions. If personal details have to be collected, the person concerned must be informed of the purpose for which the details are required.

If someone illegally takes someone's personal details without giving any information or
The bill provides for a fine of up to Rs 500,000 or imprisonment for up to three years or both for unauthorized use. The proposed bill also prohibits the use, dissemination and exchange of personal details or information for purposes other than those disclosed.


The law includes the provision of collecting details for one purpose and being ready to be punished according to the law if such details are used for other purposes. Provision has been made in the bill to destroy the personal information collected and stored for special purpose within 30 days of the end of the purpose of collecting and storing personal information.
While exchanging, processing and storing the information in electronic form, the processors, savers and service providers should pay special attention to the issue of maintaining confidentiality and integrity. The details prescribed by the government public, financial and health related bodies must be kept safe in accordance with the law. Such information should be kept safe with the guarantee of not leaving the country.

The bill has also included the provision that the government body should not be negligent in using computer and information system indiscriminately. The bill also stipulates that data centers and cloud services cannot be operated without permission. Such centers will have to be renewed every year.


The bill has also given top priority to the issue of cyber security. The Government may designate sensitive infrastructure in the Nepal Gazette by publishing information and communication infrastructure that could seriously affect any national security, economy, emergency services, emergency services, health and public safety.
