Christopher Frye, a Kolabtree freelancer, details how artificial intelligence in power plant, with 4 real-world examples. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert\/subject\/artificial-intelligence?utm_source=AIEnergy\">Artificial Intelligence<\/a> (AI) represents an area that holds significant potential across a wide array of sectors, as much in the value it can create as in the value it can uncover through realizing previously untapped potential. With increases in computing power, coupled with data storage that is more accessible, AI can now produce analyses of data sets in a much more powerful and elegant manner than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>In more simple terms, AI is expanding its scope over tasks traditionally performed by humans; indeed, in some respects, better than humans. In this blog post, we delve into the impact of this potential on the energy industry and in particular, how artificial intelligence in power plant is creating opportunity and value for the electrical system.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Convergence_of_AI_and_Energy\"><\/span>Convergence of AI and Energy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Interestingly, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatesnotes.com\/About-Bill-Gates\/Dear-Class-of-2017\">a blog post to college students last year<\/a>, Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, suggested that, were he able to go back in time and make an impact in a new way, he would consider three fields:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>One is artificial intelligence. We have only begun to tap into all the ways it will make people&#8217;s lives more productive and creative. The second is energy, because making it clean, affordable, and reliable will be essential for fighting poverty and climate change. The third is biosciences, which are ripe with opportunities to help people live longer, healthier lives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While biosciences is no less of a noble pursuit, what makes this quote all the more intriguing is the fact that in many respects, AI and energy are converging in ways that &#8211; while disruptive &#8211; can also mitigate potential negative impacts and facilitate a more orderly energy transformation. The remainder of this post provides insights into how innovations associated with AI are impacting the energy industry, including a few case studies highlighting concrete examples.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grid_Basics\"><\/span>Grid Basics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before we dive into the details, a few minor points are in order regarding the nature of electric utility operations to ensure a clear understanding of how AI intersects. At its core, the electric industry (still) consists of three primary functional areas: generation, transmission, and distribution. Generation includes all of the sources of electric-generating power including both fossil fuels and renewable energy; transmission includes high-voltage power lines that transport electricity from its generation source to where it&#8217;s needed, facilitated by a distribution system more popularly known as the system of telephone poles that line your street.<\/p>\n<p>This entire system is more popularly known as the &#8220;grid&#8221;, and in recent years, a significant amount of discussion has centered on making the grid &#8220;smarter&#8221; or more responsive. While there are competing representations of how one defines the smart grid, at its essence, it is the confluence of the electric system and advanced innovation of information technology and communication. The smart grid is not static. It is a system that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartgrid.gov\/the_smart_grid\/smart_grid.html\">continues to evolve as technologies<\/a> are iteratively tested and perfected. The role of AI might be best described as the brain behind the future smart grid, the control center behind millions of sensors and the ability to synthesize and act upon overwhelming amounts of data. We turn to a few case studies where some of this is already happening.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Artificial_Intelligence_in_Power_Plant_Examples\"><\/span>Artificial Intelligence in Power Plant: Examples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_AI_Energy_Storage_Athena\"><\/span>1. AI + Energy Storage = Athena<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stem.com\/\">Stem<\/a>, a San Francisco-based company founded in 2009, brings together the power of AI and energy storage to &#8220;optimize the timing of energy use&#8221;. Through the combination of machine learning, predictive analytics and energy storage, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stem.com\/athena\/\">Athena<\/a>, as the system is called, forms virtual power plants to maximize the value of energy storage.<\/p>\n<p>How does it do this? Through analysis of data at a rate of 400 megabytes every minute, the system continuously assesses the time value of energy and makes the most optimal decisions about when energy should be purchased. The process of aggregation across multiple points representing energy storage capacity is what is described as the &#8220;virtual power plant&#8221;.\u00a0The proliferation of these distributed resources are increasingly being driven by the growth of what are called distributed energy resources (DER) on the electric grid &#8211; primarily through rooftop solar which has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seia.org\/solar-industry-research-data\">grown significantly over the past decade<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The image below provides a rendering of this concept in visual form:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.rgstatic.net\/ii\/profile\/Marco_Pasetti\/publication\/323738170\/figure\/fig1\/AS:614232445968384@1523455835111\/Schematic-representation-of-the-physical-aggregation-levels-of-DERs-and-prosumers-in-the.png\" alt=\"Schematic representation of the physical aggregation levels of DERs and prosumers in the electrical grid domain.

[accessed 3 Nov, 2018]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this example, EES refers to Electrical Energy Storage; DG refers to Distributed Generation; and MV and LV refer to medium voltage and low voltage respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The process of this aggregation into a virtual power plant is conducted continuously, leveraging AI to develop predictive analytics across a variety of variables &#8211; such as weather, energy consumption levels, tariff (electricity rate) options, among others and automate the process of real-time calculations. The result provides aggregated load reductions that can provide relief during periods of unprecedented heat waves (though thanks to climate change becoming less unprecedented). This is something that the Stem system deployed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.energystoragejournal.com\/2018\/06\/28\/industry-insight-feeding-the-machine-ai-as-the-next-energy-storage-disruptor\/\">more than 600 times in the California wholesale market in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_AI_Facilitates_Renewable_Energy_Management\"><\/span>2.

Increasing the amount of renewable energy presents challenges to system operators to integrate these sources into the existing electric grid.<\/p>\n<p>As this <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.scientificamerican.com\/plugged-in\/renewable-energy-intermittency-explained-challenges-solutions-and-opportunities\/\">article<\/a> from Scientific American points out:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Intermittent renewables are challenging because they disrupt the conventional methods for planning the daily operation of the electric grid. Their power fluctuates over multiple time horizons, forcing the grid operator to adjust its day-ahead, hour-ahead, and real-time operating procedures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Since solar or wind could be impacted simply by random clouds or difficult to predict wind patterns, this challenge is compounded on a minute-by-minute basis to ensure that the electric grid continues to maintain consistent, reliable power. This is another area where AI shines (no pun intended). We profile two such innovations below &#8211; the first is associated with managing solar resources and the second involves aggregating multiple streams of data and combining weather forecasting and machine learning to optimize renewable energy operations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_VADER_-_Visibility_into_Distributed_Energy_Networks\"><\/span>3. VADER &#8211; Visibility into Distributed Energy Networks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Clearly the brainchild behind this effort was a Star Wars fan; no, Vader here does not refer to the dark lord, but rather to a platform combining data from photo-voltaic (PV) solar systems and smart meters which crunch data on a continuous basis to model electricity consumption and behavior of distributed energy resources such as rooftop or ground-mount solar.
