Abstract
The existence of sunlight, air, and different resources on Earth must be used wisely for human welfare while also safeguarding the environment and its living creatures. The use of the sunlight and air as a significant source of renewable energy (RE) is already an object of research and development in recent years. The high integration costs of various RE energy sources are a significant hurdle to their development. The RE contributes different energy domains: wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, hydro energy, ocean energy, bioenergy, hydrogen energy, and hybrid energy. Nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) plays an inevitable role in RE, and it could assist in achieving the future goals of the RE. AI approaches in the research and development of the abovementioned RE sources will be comprehensively analyzed. This chapter analyzes and discusses challenges estimating the value creation of AI methods in RE.
