Projects

Digital Dairy Chain Innovation Voucher: An AI data-driven reporting dashboard for the dairy sector: Stankovic, Lina (Principal Investigator) Stankovic, Vladimir (Co-investigator) Vavouris, Apostolos (Researcher); This project will develop a cost-effective (by leveraging on bespoke open-source agri software) AI-powered energy analytics dashboard designed for dairy farms, integrating real-time and historical energy data to provide automated insights into consumption, renewable generation, and cost/carbon-savings opportunities. By leveraging machine learning, the system will identify inefficiencies, predict energy demand, and recommend optimisation strategies to reduce costs and carbon footprint. The dashboard will process data from smart meters, IoT devices, and renewables, offering actionable insights through a user-friendly interface. Farm owners will receive data-driven recommendations to maximise renewable energy use, optimise time of use, and enhance overall efficiency. Further to that, the dashboard will support recommendations for installing energy saving technologies, altering processes or equipment to save energy and reduce their carbon impact. This innovative solution aims to streamline energy management in dairy farming, supporting sustainability and financial savings through AI-driven decision-making.; 01-Jan-2025 - 30-Jan-2025

Digital Dairy Chain Innovation Voucher: Project Drum - How End Farm, community led RES surplus energy export potential and methane/gas production for self-consumption/export: Stankovic, Lina (Principal Investigator) Stankovic, Vladimir (Co-investigator) Vavouris, Apostolos (Researcher); The goal of this project is to perform an analysis on the renewable energy exporting potential (wind/solar/anaerobic digester) in order to inform business case models that will explore community energy sharing schemes, battery storage and export, EV charging etc.; 27-Jan-2024 - 31-Jan-2024
Digital Dairy Chain Innovation Voucher: Project Drum - Beckside farm energy balancing and surplus exporting potential under a community led scheme: Stankovic, Vladimir (Principal Investigator) Stankovic, Lina (Co-investigator) Vavouris, Apostolos (Researcher); In this project the optimal exploitation of the renewable energy surplus (solar/hydro) in dairy farms will be explored together with possibilities for load shifting in order to optimise the energy self-consumption. The exploitation of the available land and roof space for the installation of additional renewables to further increase the passive cash flows of the farm will also be explored, as well as investments in energy storage and diversifying clean energy production to inform further studies on community energy sharing and business models development for energy sharing.; 27-Jan-2024 - 31-Jan-2024
