Quantum Machine Learning in Climate Change and Sustainability: a Review
Climate change and its impact on global sustainability are critical
challenges, demanding innovative solutions that combine cutting-edge
technologies and scientific insights. Quantum machine learning (QML) has
emerged as a promising paradigm that harnesses the power of quantum computing
to address complex problems in various domains including climate change and
sustainability. In this work, we survey existing literature that applies
quantum machine learning to solve climate change and sustainability-related
problems. We review promising QML methodologies that have the potential to
accelerate decarbonization including energy systems, climate data forecasting,
climate monitoring, and hazardous events predictions. We discuss the challenges
and current limitations of quantum machine learning approaches and provide an
overview of potential opportunities and future work to leverage QML-based
methods in the important area of climate change research.Comment: 8 pages Accepted for publication in AAAI proceedings (AAAI Fall

Robust opportunistic optimal energy management of a mixed microgrid under asymmetrical uncertainties
Energy management within microgrids under the presence of large number of renewables such as photovoltaics is complicated due to uncertainties involved. Randomness in energy production and consumption make both the prediction and optimality of exchanges challenging. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of uncertainties on optimality of different robust energy exchange strategies. To address the problem, we present AIROBE, a data-driven system that uses machine-learning-based predictions of energy supply and demand as input to calculate robust energy exchange schedules using a multiband robust optimization approach to protect from deviations. AIROBE allows the decision maker to tradeoff robustness with stability of the system and energy costs. Our evaluation shows, how AIROBE can deal effectively with asymmetric deviations and how better prediction methods can reduce both the operational cost while at the same time may lead to increased operational stability of the system
