Abstract—In the dynamic field of renewable and sustainable energy, Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration has emerged as a crucial catalyst for enhancing efficiency, cost reduction, and addressing multifaceted challenges. This work delves into the performance and contributions of ChatGPT, a prominent representative of large AI language models, within the context of renewable and sustainable energy. The research endeavors to explore ChatGPT's efficacy and role across a diverse spectrum of renewable energy aspects, spanning solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, energy storage, grid integration, energy efficiency, materials science, policy, economics, environmental impact, energy accessibility, and advanced biofuels. The investigation commences with solar energy, where ChatGPT showcases impressive capabilities in data analysis, modeling, and forecasting. It facilitates solar panel placement optimization, energy production prediction, and overall efficiency enhancement. Likewise, in the realm of wind energy, ChatGPT proves invaluable for tasks such as wind turbine control, maintenance scheduling, and wind speed prediction. In biomass energy, ChatGPT aids in feedstock selection, process optimization, and emissions reduction. In the hydropower sector, it supports reservoir management and river flow prediction, thereby optimizing energy output. Geothermal energy benefits from ChatGPT's geological analysis, reservoir modeling, and exploration strategies. Energy storage solutions are indispensable for grid stability, and ChatGPT contributes to the advancement of cutting-edge battery technologies, augmenting energy storage capacity and lifespan. Furthermore, ChatGPT's insights foster the evolution of smart grids, ensuring efficient energy distribution and effective demand management. Additionally, ChatGPT provides invaluable insights into policy and economics, offering recommendations for incentivizing the adoption of renewable energy sources while considering environmental impact and sustainability. It also contributes to the advancement of tidal and wave energy technologies, as well as the development of advanced biofuels. The outcomes of this research paper underscore the potential of AI and ChatGPT in shaping the future of renewable energy, expediting progress toward a sustainable energy ecosystem.
