This paper introduces an AI-driven decision support system for green hydrogen investment in Oman, specifically for the Duqm R3 auction. The system uses publicly available meteorological data to predict maintenance pressure on hydrogen infrastructure, creating a Maintenance Pressure Index (MPI). This tool supports regulatory oversight and operational decision-making by enabling temporal benchmarking against performance claims.

Researchers developed a two-stage AI pipeline to predict desalination performance efficiency losses due to climate factors in the UAE, achieving 98% accuracy. The model forecasts aerosol optical depth (AOD) and uses it to predict desalination efficiency, incorporating meteorological data. A dust-aware control logic was developed to optimize plant operations, and an interactive dashboard was created for decision support.
This paper focuses on analyzing surveys of women entrepreneurs in the UAE using machine learning techniques. The goal is to extract relevant insights from the data to understand the current landscape and predict future trends. The study aims to support better business decisions related to women in entrepreneurship.
This paper introduces a deep vision-based framework for predicting coastal floods under climate change, addressing the challenges of limited training data and high-dimensional output. The framework employs and compares various deep learning models, including a custom compact CNN architecture, against geostatistical and traditional machine learning methods. A new synthetic dataset of flood inundation maps for Abu Dhabi's coast is also provided to benchmark future models.
This study introduces a reinforcement learning (RL) framework using Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) to optimize the cleaning schedules of photovoltaic panels in arid regions. Applied to a case study in Abu Dhabi, the PPO-based framework demonstrated up to 13% cost savings compared to simulation optimization methods by dynamically adjusting cleaning intervals based on environmental conditions. The research highlights the potential of RL in enhancing the efficiency and reducing the operational costs of solar power generation.
