IEEE Course Teaches How to Use AI to Modernize Power Grids

IEEE Spectrum · 3 weeks ago · 22

IEEE has launched an online course teaching AI applications for modernizing power grids, addressing the urgent need for automation as U.S. electrical infrastructure operates at capacity. The course consists of five modules covering machine learning fundamentals, grid control, forecasting, physics-informed AI, and generative AI, developed by power systems experts to train engineers and data scientists. Utilities can now deploy AI-driven automation to process sensor data in real time, reduce equipment downtime by up to 50 percent, and balance volatile renewable energy sources without human intervention.
