DESCRIPTION:\nDeep decarbonization and rapid electrification of energy wil
 l require greater penetration of renewables of energy supply\, and electri
 fication of energy demand. As renewables penetration crosses 10-20% of the
  grid electricity demand (and other supply sources correspondingly adjust)
 \, the intermittency and volatility of renewable supply & new electrified 
 demand will increasingly dominate the market. Renewable supply and grid el
 ectricity demand need to be matched through a combination of multiple mark
 ets\, energy storage\, and an orchestrated portfolio of flexible resources
 . The future of renewables will fundamentally be driven by software and AI
  on the cloud to manage this transition. This talk will unwrap the various
  challenges and opportunities around this transition. We will also cover e
 xamples of the application of multi-modal Generative AI for advanced remot
 e operations\, health & safety\, and multi-lingual knowledge access in the
  context of problem-solving in field operations.\n\nDr. Shivkumar Kalyanar
