AI in Energy: Transforming Sustainability and Grid Management
Abstract
This paper explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in the energy sector, focusing on how AI technologies are revolutionizing sustainability and grid management. Through an analysis of case studies and industry reports, the study investigates how AI-driven solutions such as predictive maintenance, energy optimization, and renewable energy integration are reshaping various aspects of energy production, distribution, and consumption. It discusses the potential benefits of AI in improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing grid reliability, while also addressing challenges related to data interoperability, cybersecurity, and policy frameworks. Additionally, the paper examines the role of AI in enabling more sustainable and resilient energy systems, by optimizing resource allocation, predicting energy demand, and managing grid operations in real-time. Furthermore, it discusses the importance of collaboration between energy providers, technology developers, and policymakers, investment in AI infrastructure, and public awareness in harnessing the full potential of AI in the energy transition. The findings underscore the transformative power of AI in creating more efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy ecosystems to address the challenges of climate change and meet the growing energy demands of society.
