Consumer-Producer Concept Adoption To Hugely Affect Azerbaijan's Energy System - Official


(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 4. The introduction of the“consumer-producer” concept will have a significant impact on the entire energy system of Azerbaijan and requires a comprehensive approach, the head of the hydrogen and green technologies department of Azerbaijan renewable Energy Agency Rana Humbatova said, Trend reports.

She made the remark at a panel discussion on“Revolution in our understanding of GHG emissions: role of empirical data, AI and advanced analytics” on the final day of the international conference at the Climate Action Week in Baku.

According to her, greenhouse gas emissions are still a thorn in our side when it comes to environmental pollution, and one of the best bets to tackle this issue is by harnessing the power of solar energy and leveraging big data.

“There are three main approaches for successful development of renewable energy sources. First is the integration of solar and wind technologies. Second, forecasting their production based on big data. Finally, the management of energy demand and consumption. Using this data allows not only to accurately estimate future generation volumes but also to effectively manage electricity consumption. All of this information is a huge amount of data that requires careful processing. However, the capabilities of traditional engineering are no longer sufficient for solving such tasks. Artificial intelligence comes to the rescue here, which can cope with such challenges,” Humbatova added.

She drove home the point about the technological maturity of equipment and the quality of data being the bread and butter of success.

“Cybersecurity also occupies a key place in the agency's strategy, especially in the context of training and skill development. Without developed human capital, it is impossible to realize any of these projects,” the head of the department stated.

Humbatova also mentioned the introduction of the concept of so called "prosumers" (consumer-producers), which can produce up to 1,000 kW of energy and sell the surplus to the grid.

“This will have a significant impact on the entire energy system of the country and requires an integrated approach. We have included important elements of renewable energy and air conditioning development in our program, and there are many companies involved in this process,” she stressed.
