AI maps China's vast solar and wind energy infrastructure

Researchers from Peking University and Alibaba's Damo Academy have developed an AI model capable of mapping China's vast solar and wind energy infrastructure. This system processed 7.56 terabytes of satellite imagery to create the first comprehensive national inventory of these green energy sites. The AI identified over 300,000 solar facilities and 90,000 wind turbines, providing a 'God's-eye view' to aid in grid optimization and environmental assessments. AI
