Using Statistics and Machine Learning to Test the Durability of Energy Storage Solutions There is a lot of hype in the media about artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), but at Berkeley Lab, AI and ML have played an integral role in research projects for many years. One current example of a research project with an important AI/ML component is a collaboration between the Energy Technologies and Computing Sciences Areas. Steve Harris, Principal Scientific Engineering Associate with ETA’s Energy Storage and Distributed Resources Division, and Marcus Noack, a research scientist with the CSA’s Applied Mathematics and Computational Research Division, are working together to develop a unique AI/ML-driven solution for the rapid assessment of the durability of novel energy storage solutions.
