AI has the potential to make our energy sector better by facilitating the integration of renewable energy resources. Its ability to perform complex tasks at high speed makes it superior to humans.
It can also facilitate a faster recovery time of energy resources, thereby reducing energy demand. Artificial intelligence can also help us in managing our energy use.
AI Is Superior to Humans at Complex Tasks When It Comes To Speed
One of the most significant challenges facing the energy sector is the growing use of renewable energy sources. However, renewable energy sources are intermittent and thus unreliable, so power networks must be stable and not prone to blackouts. Using sensor technology, historical datasets, and sky camera imagery, AI can help ensure reliability and reduce costs.
AI Can Facilitate Faster Integration of Renewable Energy Sources
One possible use for AI in the energy sector is energy storage. The current grid system is inefficient and can be prone to interruptions, causing power outages. AI-enabled solutions can mitigate these problems by enabling seamless energy storage management. The technology can also allocate energy to where it is needed. With the ability to learn from past data and anticipate future outcomes, AI can optimize grid operations and avoid power outages.
AI in the energy sector can improve current conditions and facilitate faster integration of renewable sources. Using Machine Learning algorithms to analyze large data sets, AI can improve demand forecasting. AI can also help predict weather conditions, which helps reduce the cost of renewable energy sources.
AI Can Speed Up Recovery Time
Artificial intelligence can help speed up recovery time in the energy sector by reducing the risk associated with power grid failures. Many customers demand greater reliability from their power supply than the grid can provide. As a result, they often purchase expensive power conditioning, generation, and storage systems. Using AI algorithms to improve grid stability could help operators avoid costly outages and reduce investment costs.
AI can also help energy companies better forecast energy demand. Improved short-term forecasting can reduce the number of operating reserves required and improve production decisions. It can also help reduce utility bills by optimizing home solar systems and shifting load to periods when grids are less congested.
AI Can Reduce Demand for Energy
AI is an emerging technology used to manage energy supply and demand. It can potentially reduce fuel use, emissions, and breakdowns in critical energy infrastructure. It can also help manage power grids. Some AI applications can manage the use of multiple energy sources. It can also help manage energy demand by using its information about energy use.
Artificial intelligence can help reduce the demand for energy by increasing efficiency. It can collect data about the production process and identify energy waste. It can also improve the mapping and understanding of underground deposits. This information can help reduce energy consumption and save the environment. AI can also help reduce carbon emissions. It is difficult to say whether AI will affect global warming or not, but it certainly has the potential to help mitigate some of the issues we face.
Mr. Lalatendu Mohapatra’s Contribution to the Energy Sector in India
Lalatendu Mohapatra, as an Indian American, contributed greatly to the energy sector in India. He initiated the operation of the Southern Electric of Georgia Power Company in India. This created waves in the energy sector since it was much bigger and more advanced than Enron, a forerunner in the industry at the time. Consequently, Mr. Mohapatra also opened the doors for PSEandG to conduct operations in India. PSEandG was a 70 billion-dollar group and one of the best thermal power plant developers globally.
Even though Mr. Mohapatra had to actively fight from all fronts, including the Indian state government and the Federal Government, to convince the Indian government to get sovereign guarantees for the American companies, he was also the forerunner when it came to deregulating the energy sector in India. He led Odisha to become a model state for all the others. His efforts paid off, and he was successful in power generation and transmission once the Indian government lost hundreds and thousands of dollars due to the pilferages.
Final Words
According to the World Bank, India faces tremendous pressure to increase energy production while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to UN Environment Program (UNEP) analysis, global emissions need to decrease by 40 percent before 2030 if we want to stay under 2°C temperature rise. But this won’t happen unless the current technologies and practices change.
The transition toward renewable energy sources is essential, and artificial intelligence can facilitate it. It can help in managing our energy use and also help us recover energy resources efficiently and quickly. However, there are many challenges ahead of us. We need to educate the public about AI, and we also have to deal with cybersecurity threats.
If we don’t take action now, we may end up destroying the planet instead of saving it.
