The Role of AI in Building the Future Grid that is Equitable and Reliable.

Abstract:

The demand for electricity is about to quadruple in the not-so-distant future , while our electric grid ramps up for electrification and integration of new technologies and grid-edge distributed energy resources including solar and electric vehicles.  The way we study, design and operate the grid is on the cusp of a major evolution where our intelligence and decision making relies heavily on leveraging massive sensor data.  Ballouz will discuss the roles of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing the future of the electrical grid where  AI’s vast analytical capabilities present opportunities for a grid that is equitable, reliable, and efficient.   Hala will emphasize the significance of AI in catapulting the power industry to get ready for the future. This means utility engineers and consultants have new skills to learn.  Listen to our industry expert in electric grid study talk about where AI can play in the utility space, and the significance of digitilization and data to create enable the intelligence for a successful transition to clean energy.
