    Development Of An Ai-Based Model With Low Computational Complexity For Accurate Solar Energy Forecasting
    (Faculty of Engineering, 2025-09-09) Chandrasinghe, S; Fernando, N
    This paper introduces a short-term solar energy forecasting model that is designed with a focus on low computational complexity and addresses the challenges posed by fluctuations in solar energy generation, which are significantly influenced by environmental factors. These fluctuations can lead to instability when solar power generation systems are integrated into national energy grids, creating difficulties in maintaining a balanced supply and demand. If solar energy generation can be accurately forecasted before fluctuations occur, potential issues can be identified in advance, allowing for better management of the energy system, including optimizing storage facilities when energy generation is high. Current solar energy forecasting systems face significant challenges due to their high computational complexity, which results in increased power consumption and lower accuracy. To address these issues, this study focuses on the development of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based forecasting model using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The goal is to reduce the computational complexity of the model while maintaining high accuracy. To achieve this, various data analysis and complexity reduction techniques, such as variable reduction, pruning, and quantization, were applied. The performance of the optimized AI model was evaluated by comparing the forecasted values to actual solar energy generation data. The results demonstrate that the proposed model successfully reduces computational complexity while maintaining a satisfactory level of accuracy. This optimization makes the model more suitable for real-time forecasting, particularly in resource-constrained environments, and provides a more efficient approach to solar energy management. The findings of this study suggest that AI-based forecasting models can play a critical role in enhancing the integration of solar energy into national grids, ensuring a more reliable and sustainable energy supply. Further research could explore additional optimization techniques and the introduction of generalization techniques to improve transferability of the model and applicability across diverse geographical regions. Additionally, focus on utilizing AI techniques that minimize computational complexity without compromising the accuracy of the model, aiming to maintain high forecasting precision while optimizing the efficiency of the system.

    Development of an AI-Based Model with Low Computational Complexity for Accurate Wind Energy Forecasting
    (Faculty of Engineering, 2025-09-09) Dilshan, S; Fernando, N
    Most countries primarily relay on fossil fuel for electricity generation, leading to fossil fuel depletion and environmental pollution. The countries are developed technologies for renewable energy generation. The wind energy being promoted as a superior renewable energy. However, wind energy has its challengers, particularly uncertainty that can affect overall system stability. The accurate short-term forecasting of wind energy was crucial for ensuring grid stability. Both physical and AI-based models can effectively be utilized for wind energy prediction. AI-based methodologies have shown superior effectiveness, efficiency, and accuracy when compared to traditional physical models. The lightweight AI-based forecasting model was particularly significant for processing devices, enabling faster computations and substantially more cost-effective forecasting. The research utilized simulation software to develop an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model, initially incorporating eight meteorological parameters. Four of these parameters showed weak correlations and were subsequently removed from the model. Further optimization was achieved through pruning and quantization techniques, significantly reducing computational complexity. The optimized model demonstrates a notable reduction in both training time by 92.69% and inference time by 63.83%, while maintaining accuracy with only a marginal decrease of 3.99% compared to the initial model. These improvements were achieved with minimal loss in predictive accuracy, significantly reducing computational complexity. The study concludes that the optimized ANN model is wellsuited for real-time wind power forecasting, offering a balance between accuracy and computational efficiency. This approach not only facilitates better grid management but also extends the applicability of AI-based forecasting to devices with limited processing capabilities. Future work could explore additional complexity reduction techniques and broader deployment scenarios.

    Nutria: An AI-Driven Personalized Meal and Exercise Recommender System for Diabetes Management
    (SLIIT City UNI, 2025-07-08) Kumari, V.W.I.D; Seneviratne, O
    The prevalence of diabetes has led to a growing demand for personalized dietary management tools, leading to the development of Nutria, a web-based food recommendation system tailored for individuals with diabetes. Nutria application is leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and image processing. Nutria analyzes individual health data to provide realtime meal suggestions. The system also features predicting blood glucose level, feature of a chatbot that supports user engagement by offering dietary advice, tracking user progress and exercise recommendation for control their disease condition. The inclusion of a chatbot serves as a vital component of Nutria, facilitating ongoing user engagement and support. Users can interact with the chatbot to receive personalized dietary advice, track their progress over time. This interactive feature not only helps users stay motivated but also fosters a sense of accountability in their dietary choices. Findings from the system evaluation revealed a high level of user satisfaction, with over 85% of participants reporting improved dietary awareness and adherence.
