Smart grids are changing the way electricity is managed, delivered, and consumed.

Unlike traditional power grids, smart grides use advanced technologies like AI and IoT to improve energy distribution efficiency, sustainability, and reliability. Grids adapt dynamically to shifting energy demands, reduce waste, and feature renewable energy sources, while providing consumers with real-time information about their electricity consumption.

At their core, smart grids rely on a network of sensors, smart meters, and automation tools to optimise energy flow. Real-time monitoring tracks electricity consumption and grid conditions, while AI-powered analytics identify trends and possible problems before they worsen. The systems also balance energy from several sources, such as solar and wind, ensuring that ...
