Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
PO308: From Papers to Payback: What Wind Leaders Can Do with Data & AI and How to Make It Stick
Miguel Angel Rodríguez López, Digital Hub Advanced Analytics & AI Manager, Acciona
Abstract
Across the wind sector, Data & AI are already shifting day-to-day decisions: keeping turbines available, spotting safety risks sooner, smoothing logistics and port operations, improving forecasts and curtailment handling, tracking sustainability, and giving frontline teams smarter support. Think of practical families of use cases: visual inspection that flags corrosion or unsafe behaviours; condition insights that turn noise into actionable maintenance; supply-chain and port visibility to de-bottleneck projects; trading and grid-facing decisions with better foresight; ESG measurement that is auditable; and assistants that help people find answers faster. The rise of agentic AI goal-seeking assistants that plan steps, call tools and take bounded actions. In industrial operations this is moving from demos to pilots: virtual agents orchestrate workflows end-to-end (propose inspection routes, open a work order, summarise evidence, escalate exceptions...), while “embodied” agents augment physical tasks; together they shift humans from operators to AI-enabled orchestrators and compress time-to-action. This changes the solution map leaders should consider and points to near-autonomous, yet supervised, operations in coming waves. Meanwhile, impact must be balanced with governance and efficiency, asking from the outset for measurable benefits, transparency and responsible deployment. Many organisations still struggle when efforts are pursued as isolated tools: results don’t travel between sites, “black boxes” erode trust, and benefits fade without process change or ownership inside the company. The session lays out a technology-agnostic, end-to-end way to develop Data & AI with a strategic lens—so executives leave with a sector-wide view of use cases, their business impact, and a coherent approach to identification, prioritisation and adoption. We first make the landscape legible—what is truly working in classical, generative and agentic AI for wind, in language everyone can use—and then show how to execute so know-how stays in-house, adoption holds, early wins fund what comes next, and governance remains simple.
