GREEN TECHNOLOGY AND SUSTAINABILITY
THE TIME ACT IS NO
“With AI, machine learning and advanced software, we can translate data into early warnings, predictive maintenance and automated interventions that keep small issues from becoming big failures”
Adrian Guggisberg, Division President – Electrical Distribution Solutions, ABB
Today’ s grids must handle electricity moving in multiple directions – from solar panels on rooftops and offshore wind farms to industrial microgrids feeding power back into the system. These sources are often variable and weather-dependent, which makes power flow much harder to predict and control.
At the same time, the electrical energy demand is rising as we convert energy consumers that have been traditionally powered by fossil fuels to electrical energy in order to decarbonise industries and private energy consumption.
So how do we build a grid that can handle all this complexity – and do it fast enough to support the energy transition?
Before we address the solution, it’ s important to acknowledge that
