The smart grid requires an advanced level of computing to be deployed at the edge of the grid to manage and optimize the highly distributed intermittent loads introduced. It also requires a “total system” approach to effectively balance multiple fluctuating energy sources, consumption levels and new renewable technologies.
Grid-connected microgrids have a connection to the main grid, but can switch away from this if there are power supply issues, for example. Networked microgrids are groups of microgrids that are connected together to serve a wide geographic area, like a community or city.
The cost of a cyberattack on the US smart power grid is estimated to be $1 trillion – roughly eight times the cost of cleaning up the Fukushima nuclear disaster. A six-hour winter blackout in France could result in over $1.7bn in damages. The negative externalities of a cyberattack on smart electricity grids could be immense, as just about ...
There’s already automation on today’s grid, but automation can only go so far. Fully enabling a future grid and maximising its benefits will require AI. Ultimately, AI will transform the grid from an aging supplier of commodity electricity to an intelligent “system of systems” that produces optimised outcomes.
By considering usage and consumption data (e.g. from smart meters), the distribution operations can be confident targeting the right grid segments. Full visibility into the current grid state and capacity limits means they can streamline the long line of interconnection requests and know exactly where and when to invest, as well as detailed ...
Calls for government spending on grid infrastructure to update long transmission lines from a centralized power generation source attempt to solve today’s problems using technology from the past. There is a better, more forward-looking alternative already in existence: Artificial Intelligence (AI) that leverages decentralized renewable ...
This emerging district is designed to be the world’s foremost smart energy laboratory at full scale. This district heating and smart-grid integration shows how electricity and heat, energy-efficient buildings and electric transport can be integrated into one intelligent, flexible and optimized energy system.
It is smart-grid ready and energy-autonomous, with 4,000 m2 of photovoltaic panels and two vertical wind turbines. IntenCity has its own building information modelling system, which is an exact reflection of the construction and energy model that is capable of reproducing the energy behaviour of the real building.
Smart grids are switching Swedish homes from energy consumers to power-making ‘prosumers.’ Local ‘district heating’ plants use excess heat to warm the majority of Swedish homes. Sweden is disrupting energy production by turning homes into renewable power stations, helping meet the EU’s 2030 energy targets
