Prof. Abiodun Musa Aibinu, Vice-Chancellor of Summit University Offa in Kwara State and Principal Investigator of the Artificial Intelligence for Clean Energy (AI4CE) project, claimed that the co-creation of a more sustainable and effective energy system by artificial intelligence and clean energy.

Aibinu said AI and CE help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change during a guest appearance on Wednesday at the February Technical Session of the Nigerian Institution of Environmental Engineers (NIEE), Lagos State Chapter.

The don who spoke on the topic: ‘Artificial Intelligence for Clean Energy’, said that renewable energies will become much more efficient in the future with the application of AI.

“Presently, we have lots of rules guiding energy trading in Nigeria. But do you know that if you and I can generate energy for our own use, our reliance on the national grid will definitely reduce, and the little one that we have been able to generate will go around and get to other users. And by that, we are gradually moving from being an energy-bankrupt country to an energy-sufficient nation.”

The VC also stated that AI-powered sensors detect and prevent energy leaks in buildings, adding that AI’s tasks improve the performance and efficiency of wind turbines and solar panels.

Aibinu is a Professor of Mechatronics Engineering.

He has participated in and won several academic and research awards at various international and national exhibitions.

He has authored and co-authored several publications in both local and international journals and conferences. Some of his published works are highly cited in the academic field. His research interests include Digital signal and Image processing, Information and Communication Technology, Robotics, Process Automation, Intelligent system development and Clean Energy generation.

Prof. Aibinu has been actively involved in teaching, supervision, mentoring and research activities at various universities in Nigeria and Malaysia.

Also speaking at the programme was the NIEE Lagos State Chairman, Engr Yusuf Majolagbe who said government, along with the energy sector, “need to ramp up renewables and transition from fossil fuels”.

The Wastewater Management expert stressed the importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in advancing the renewable energy industry.
