TECHNOLOGY AS A CATALYST IN RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR


With global carbon emissions hitting an all-time high of nearly 37.1bn tonnes in the year 2018, the need to replace fossil fuels with renewables as an energy source is the need-of-the-hour. This has already started, and renewable energy is already coming across as a reliable, safer and cleaner source of energy. In the last decade, advancements in various technologies have given a boost to the progress of power transmission in India.

However, the renewable energy sector is still facing some major challenges that can be easily overcome with the aid of transpiring technologies. Here are some of the ways in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology can make renewable energy more reliable:

Smart Grids:

Smart electric grids can retain 3% or more of overall electric demand without creating a change by identifying whether the system is balanced or optimized. In addition, the AI-powered smart grid can scrutinize data and supply us with detailed acumen on energy consumption pattern. This in turn will not only help top power transmission companies advance their existing services but will also enable them to target and cater to new consumer markets.
2. Smart Control Centers:
With grids taking the smart path, the responsibility that lies with control centers and operators in going to increase in multiple ways. Smart control centers will enable the operators in controlling operations in a better way. AI powered control centers can not only aid in managing supply and demand in a feasible manner, the data collected through the connected sensors can improve the operator’s insights. 
3. Better Integrated Microgrids:
One of the major concerns in managing distributed energy is the imbalance of energy flow within the grid. A proper control system powered by AI technology can smoothen the integration of community-level RE generation units to the primary grid and resolve the congestion issues of energy delivery to a great extent.
4. Addressing Safety Concerns:
With AI integrated RE units, things like identifying energy leakage and regular check-up of energy devices will be more feasible. A well-maintained system directly leads to an energy system that is safer, more efficient and more reliable.

New technologies, methods and practices to cater different processes and to store electricity will work towards improving flexibility and efficiency of power plants, transmission infrastructure and persistently balancing generation and load to build safe and reliable power transmission systems.
