Smart grid service providers explore several utility business possibilities by implementing AI (artificial intelligence).
A smart grid operates in different ways to analyze supply-demand constraints. Comparing the digital-age smart grids with conventional grid systems, it becomes apparent that the latest grid systems provide better distribution, enable integration of clean energy, and permit quick restoration in situations like power blackouts.
The smart grid systems are interrelated by several sensors attached to various utility equipment, allowing intelligent grids to provide seamless energy services. Because of the interconnections, smart utility devices generate massive amounts of operational data that contribute to AI.
With the capacity to access vast amounts of accumulated data, AI contributes by sorting unstructured data for further analysis. The placement of AI-based services makes it possible to use the utility data generated in remote places and improve the overall performance of smart grid systems.
AMS (Integrated Asset Management System) is one of the most common applications of AI. AMS permits sharing of the asset information across organizations. It also brings significant impacts to the utility sector.
Recently, distributed energy systems and renewable energy sources have also gained popularity with the help of AI. Powered by artificial intelligence, various energy companies can meet the growing energy demands.
Connecting the power of other technologies like cloud computing, big data, and the IoT(Internet of Things ), AI(artificial intelligence) can develop active management systems for the smart grids and successfully enhance the accessibility of renewable energy sources.
Moreover, AI can also enhance the efficiency of the smart utility grids and enable end-users to track their energy usage to evade energy theft. Implementing AI into the grid network can aid analyze data generated by different grid components and assist users in optimizing energy usage. Therefore, AI is considered the most revolutionary technology for clean and green energy providers.
