en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Spanish Wind Energy Association (AEE) and the Institute of Knowledge Engineering (IIC) have jointly announced the establishment of the "Wind Power Artificial Intelligence Laboratory," aimed at accelerating the practical application of artificial intelligence in the renewable energy sector. The laboratory brings together wind power industry enterprises, AI experts, and technical institutions, planning to identify high-impact opportunities, analyze real-world use cases, and transform AI potential into competitive advantages for the industry.
According to AEE, the laboratory has set ten specific objectives, including accelerating AI integration into the industry, improving forecasting, developing environmental integration technologies, enhancing industrial value, optimizing lifecycles, reducing costs, predicting failures, improving decision-making, and accelerating the energy transition. AEE Director General Juan Virgilio Márquez stated: "This laboratory is born with the aim of transforming artificial intelligence into a competitive advantage across the entire industry value chain, driving new industrial capabilities, business models, and innovation opportunities." He emphasized that wind power, as a leading technology, plays a dominant role by serving as the ideal foundation for hybrid and manageable renewable energy facilities.
AEE Head of Innovation, Standardization, and Projects, José Manuel Melendi, pointed out: "One of the laboratory's goals is to collaborate together, exploring, analyzing, and accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence. It's not just about talking about technology, but understanding what real problems it can solve." According to the Global AI Vibrancy Ranking compiled by Stanford University, based on analysis of 42 indicators including research, investment, and talent attraction, Spain ranks seventh globally among leading countries in AI development.
The laboratory's first milestone is the compilation of an "Industry Map of AI Use Cases in the Wind Power Sector," expected to be published in 2027. The map will outline the main application opportunities for AI in 10 areas, including operations and maintenance, wind energy resources, meteorological modeling, production forecasting, electricity markets, asset management, regulation, legal, human resources, and internal processes. AEE stated that the laboratory aims to address common challenges faced by wind power industry companies, such as data quality and availability, the maturity of technological solutions, integration with existing systems, and AI governance and compliance.
Álvaro Romero, Technical Director for the Energy Sector at the Institute of Knowledge Engineering, stated: "The Wind Power AI Laboratory is born to drive a more efficient, predictive, and sustainable energy model, where artificial intelligence will aid in automation and advanced data analysis to more agilely address the challenges of the energy transition." Through this laboratory, AEE and IIC aim to position Spain among the leading European countries in the application of AI in the renewable energy sector.
