Q-REALM Wind is a feasibility study being undertaken by EY and ORCA Computing, together with critical input from a multi-national energy producer to explore the potential of using generative modelling techniques on ORCA's PT-Series photonic quantum processor for onshore and offshore wind farm location optimisation. The objective of the project is to assess the impact of novel algorithms that use data science and quantum computing (vs traditional techniques) to optimise the placement of wind turbines for maximum energy output and cost efficiency, while considering various environmental and regulatory considerations.The project is particularly timely because of the imperative to improve the UK's energy security while simultaneously helping more organisations achieve net-zero. The project aims to show that more efficient use can be made of the nation's resources, thus delivering a better return on the investment in renewables, as well as improving the stability and reliability of wind power to minimise power transmission loss and reduce dependencies on fossil-fuel backup. The project also encourages further innovation within the renewables industry by showcasing the potential for quantum computing to be used in other parts of the supply chain -- from more efficient turbine design to reliable operation over the long lives of these assets. In addition, this project will help to demonstrate the feasibility of near-term quantum computing applications and encourage more organisations to start their journey to quantum readiness.The project also builds on EY's broad base of research and thought leadership in quantum computing and AI, allowing the project team to explore quantum readiness in a hands-on fashion, while bringing to bear EY's & ORCA's breadth and depth in AI, data science, and the energy domain.

Q-REALM Wind项目是一项可行性研究，由安永和ORCA Computing公司共同开展，并与一家跨国能源生产商合作，探索在ORCA的pt系列光子量子处理器上使用生成建模技术进行陆上和海上风电场位置优化的潜力。该项目的目标是评估使用数据科学和量子计算（与传统技术相比）的新算法的影响，以优化风力涡轮机的布局，以实现最大的能源输出和成本效率，同时考虑各种环境和监管因素。这个项目特别及时，因为它迫切需要改善英国的能源安全，同时帮助更多的组织实现净零排放。该项目旨在表明，可以更有效地利用国家资源，从而为可再生能源投资提供更好的回报，同时提高风力发电的稳定性和可靠性，以最大限度地减少输电损失，减少对化石燃料备用的依赖。该项目还通过展示量子计算在供应链其他部分的潜力，鼓励可再生能源行业的进一步创新——从更高效的涡轮机设计到这些资产在长寿命期间的可靠运行。此外，该项目将有助于展示近期量子计算应用的可行性，并鼓励更多组织开始他们的量子准备之旅。该项目还建立在安永在量子计算和人工智能领域的广泛研究和思想领导基础上，使项目团队能够以实际操作的方式探索量子准备，同时发挥安永& ORCA在人工智能、数据科学和能源领域的广度和深度。
