Integration of AI with Smart Grids to Spur Demand for Smart Grid Sensors
Smart grid surveillance systems generally use intelligent sensors to measure the electrical and magnetic fields in power lines. These sensors that are connected to power line poles collect data and send it to units, which use artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze the data. In smart grid solutions, AI can predict power demand based on data such as energy markets, weather, and human behavior.
- For example, Myst AI uses AI to forecast the generation of renewable energy, energy market prices, and power demand across different regions.
Such insights help utilities match energy supply and demand. AI-enabled sensors can detect the exact location of failure and help prevent large-scale blackouts.
