AI is the key to unlocking the full potential of #RenewableEnergy integration and #GridModernization. With predictive maintenance and real-time energy distribution management capabilities, AI will help power America’s electricity grids into clean, sustainable powerhouses. In an article for Powermag Claire Gotham , VP of Utilities & Renewables at Capgemini Americas, explores how AI's predictive power can help us anticipate issues, optimize electricity flow, and ensure that our grids are not only smarter but also more resilient. Claire also shares an #AI checklist that companies should consider. Here's the article for more insights.

There is no single perfect solution for our energy problems… Energy demands are rising. Fossil fuels are diminishing. And sustainable future is our main goal. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨? ‘A holistic approach utilizing new technologies’ 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 → Advanced materials can improve the durability of renewable systems → AI can optimize energy management → Advanced batteries and hydrogen cells can be used for storage → Smart grids can give us more control over energy consumption These technologies are not isolated solutions, but they work best when integrated. When AI is combined with smart grids, we can have real-time energy distribution data and massively reduce wastage. Using advanced materials across solar, wind, and battery technologies will not only be cost-effective but can boost the system’s performance noticeably. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣: → High cost of advanced technologies → Regulatory hurdles → Permission process → Upgradation of infrastructure At ASEC ENGINEERS, we understand that the future of energy depends on integrating multiple advanced technologies into a cohesive and resilient system. We provide the most reliable, efficient, and sustainable utility solutions to improve our energy sector. 👉 Head to our website for a full range of services https://lnkd.in/gX7Nm6_W #innovation #technology #energy #sustainability #electricalengineering

🔮 AI: The Crystal Ball for Energy Grid Maintenance? 🔌 America's energy infrastructure is aging, and demand is skyrocketing. How can we keep the lights on without breaking the bank? With power demand expected to grow 5% in just five years and 44% of our energy slated to come from renewables by 2050, our grid is under immense pressure. The American Society of Civil Engineers' current C- grade for our power systems is a wake-up call we can't ignore. Enter Argonne National Laboratory's groundbreaking AI-powered software! This isn't just maintenance – it's predictive magic for our energy grid. By analyzing vast amounts of sensor data, it can: • Forecast equipment failures before they happen • Reduce maintenance costs by up to 56% • Cut unnecessary crew visits by 66% • Boost profits by 3-4% #AI is seemingly everywhere you turn and gives some the impression of a bubble, but the potential of this AI-driven approach is really compelling. It's not just about keeping the lights on; it's about revolutionizing how we manage our energy infrastructure for a sustainable future. This strikes me as a really pragmatic approach to prioritizing where to invest in infrastructure upgrades… assuming you have the sensors already in place. It brings to mind irmos technologies AG who I first learned about at Swissnex in San Francisco's ClimateTech Pitch Night this past April; much like what Argonne has done for the grid, Irmos is developing software that enables engineers to monitor the health of built structures (buildings, bridges, etc). How do you think AI-powered predictive maintenance could transform other industries beyond energy? Beyond the sensor catch-22, what challenges might arise in implementing such systems? #AIinEnergy #SustainableInnovation #SmartGrid #Construction #BuiltInfrastructure #ClimateTech https://lnkd.in/gatr5YGt

🌍 AI meets solar power: Building a sustainable future AI is transforming solar energy, enhancing efficiency with precise weather forecasting, predictive maintenance, and real-time energy trading. This synergy not only optimises solar power output but also helps meet AI's growing energy demands.  While challenges like cybersecurity and data integration remain, the combination of AI and solar power is paving the way for a greener, more sustainable energy landscape. #ARISEproject #AI #solarpower #renewableenergy #sustainability #energyinnovation #greenenergy Source: https://lnkd.in/g2zw2-Vg

This article delves into the transformative potential of AI and data analytics in the energy sector. We require a forward-looking approach that highlights the importance of innovation in meeting evolving energy demands and driving efficiency across the power distribution landscape. This perspective, in my opinion, reflects the critical role of technology in shaping the future of energy infrastructure. #AT #dataanalytics #energy

The surging demand for data centers and AI workloads is challenging the grid like never before, with utilities across the U.S. raising alarms about energy availability. A recent study highlights how tech leaders are balancing the need for growth with ambitious emissions-reduction goals by investing in on-site renewables, energy analytics, and strategic partnerships with clean energy providers. At TECfusions, these challenges are met with a commitment to adaptive reuse and on-site microgrid solutions, delivering sustainability without compromising operational efficiency. Explore the latest insights from Data Center Frontier to see how the industry is navigating these challenges.

[BLOG] In the realm of technological innovation, the emergence of digital twins has reshaped how industries operate. These virtual replicas of physical assets or systems have become pivotal in optimising processes, predicting outcomes and driving efficiency. But, what is a digital twin and how is it impacting renewable energy site operations? 🔎 In this blog we will present expert insights on the matter from 3E co-founder and CTO Werner Coppye and Editor in Chief of FORESIGHT Climate & Energy magazine David Weston. We will explore their thoughts about how digital twins have developed over recent years, and how new technologies like artificial intelligence are changing the way digital twins are used.

Engine Ventures’ Lisa Hansmann and Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Brian Deese propose a bold national framework that harnesses AI’s growing energy demand to accelerate the scaling of clean energy. As demand for AI proliferates, its energy consumption is crashing headlong into existing energy infrastructure. An AI additionality requirement for new clean energy capacity to meet new computing demand, paired with a fast-tracked approval process for those clean energy projects, ensures the expansion of AI and clean energy go hand in hand. Read Hansmann and Deese’s article in Heatmap News outlining how a national framework can ensure that we scale innovation in AI and clean energy in tandem to build U.S. strength in the sectors critical to winning the 21st century. https://lnkd.in/eXm6tcux
