The transition to renewable energy requires smarter grids. Traditional power systems were designed for one-way flow from massive power plants to consumers. Today, with rooftop solar and wind farms, the grid must handle bidirectional flows and variable generation.
The Role of AI
Artificial Intelligence helps balance supply and demand in milliseconds. Algorithms predict cloud cover to estimate solar output, while optimizing battery storage usage to prevent blackouts.
Key Technologies
- Smart Meters: Real-time data collection.
- Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs): High-speed grid health monitoring.
- Distributed Ledger: For peer-to-peer energy trading.
