3.1 Example: Using Cloud Services for Renewable Energy Management

Below is a simple Python code snippet demonstrating how to connect to a cloud database for storing energy production data:

import sqlite3

# Connect to cloud database (example using SQLite)
conn = sqlite3.connect('cloud_energy_data.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()

# Create table for energy production data
cursor.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS production_data
                  (date TEXT, energy_produced REAL)''')

# Insert example data
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO production_data (date, energy_produced) VALUES ('2023-10-01', 150.5)")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
