In this LinkedIn post, Daveed Sidhu argues that the smart grid benefits from AI's ability to optimize generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity while providing consumers with insights into their energy usage and production.

AI enhances the smart grid's reliability, efficiency, and sustainability through demand forecasting, renewable energy integration, grid security, optimization, and customer engagement.

Despite the transformative potential of AI, challenges such as data quality, interoperability, ethical implications, and regulatory frameworks must be addressed for a balanced and holistic approach to AI implementation in the smart grid.

This intersection of AI and the smart grid promises a future of more reliable, resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy systems benefiting both utility companies and consumers.

A few applications of AI in smart grids:

  • Customer engagement

  • Grid optimization

  • Grid security

  • Renewable integration
