02/05/2025 - Value in energy data | AIOLUS - an intelligent wind farm management system
AIOLUS, named after Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Aeolus, the Greek god of wind, is a novel wind farm management system designed to make wind energy smarter and more efficient.
As the world accelerates towards clean energy and Net Zero goals, AIOLUS provides a transformative solution by optimising the performance of existing wind farms, increasing energy output without the need for additional turbines.
Led by the University of Warwick, AIOLUS integrates cutting-edge AI-powered modelling, digital twin and control technologies. In this webinar, you will learn more about AIOLUS, which offers a scalable and cost-effective way to enhance production, reduce operational costs, and minimise the need for new land and offshore developments.
By unlocking the full potential of wind energy, AIOLUS is paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable, and energy-secure future.

Professor Xiaowei Zhao, Professor of Control Engineering, University of Warwick.
Xiaowei is the director of the EPSRC Supergen Network PLUS in Artificial Intelligence for Renewable Energy and a co-director of the EPSRC Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy Hub.
Xiaowei obtained his PhD in Control Theory from Imperial College London in 2010 and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford until 2013. After that he joined the University of Warwick where he was awarded a chair in 2018. At Warwick he established the Intelligent Control & Smart Energy (ICSE) research group and four state-of-the-art laboratories.
Dr Hongyang Dong, Assistant Professor, University of Warwick
His research focuses on control theory and machine learning methods, with applications in complex systems such as offshore renewable energy and autonomous systems. He has published over 40 papers in these fields, including 18 in IEEE Transactions journals. One of his recent core research efforts centres on AI-powered wind farm control, where he develops reinforcement learning algorithms to significantly enhance overall wind farm efficiency.
