Smart Grids and IoT: AI for Optimizing Energy Distribution and Consumption

Abstract

The rapid advancement of smart grid technology, coupled with the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), presents a transformative opportunity to optimize energy distribution and consumption. This paper explores the integration of these technologies to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of energy systems. Smart grids utilize IoT devices to collect real-time data on energy demand and supply, enabling dynamic adjustments to distribution strategies. AI algorithms analyze this data, predicting consumption patterns and facilitating proactive decision-making to minimize energy waste.
