Artificial intelligence (AI) in Power – Thematic Research
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an umbrella term for various software-based systems that use data inputs to make decisions on their own. There are strong AI use cases in the power industry. Many activities, from asset optimization to customer segmentation, can be enhanced by AI.
The past 10 years have seen an explosion in the amount of data generated by power companies, mostly due to the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT). AI provides an opportunity to significantly increase performance through the use of data collected from IoT devices, and power companies that are not making use of AI will fall behind those that do.
GlobalData anticipates that the global market for AI platforms in the power industry will reach an estimated $5.3bn in 2024, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24% from 2019. Large utilities will continue to develop their in-house capabilities, hiring machine learning and data science specialists, and more AI-specific start-ups will persist in growing the list of AI-focused partnerships in the power sector.
Electricity trading, smart grids, and asset management represent primary growth areas for AI in the power sector. Machine learning, a key element of the AI value chain, will drive most of this growth.
