AI-DRIVEN SMART GRID ENERGY TRADING PLATFORM

Abstract

The rapid advancement of renewable energy technologies and the increasing need for efficient energy management have propelled the development of smart grid systems. An Al-driven smart grid energy trading platform integrates artificial intelligence with decentralized energy grids, enabling dynamic and real-time energy distribution, trading, and management. The platform leverages AI algorithms to predict energy supply and demand, optimize energy storage, and automate peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading among consumers, producers, and prosumers. Through machine learning models and big data analytics, it can analyze consumption patterns, forecast renewable energy generation, and optimize the overall energy flow within the grid. Blockchain technology ensures secure, transparent, and decentralized trading transactions, while Al-based pricing models adapt to market conditions in real-time, promoting cost- efficiency and resource sustainability. This platform not only increases grid resilience but also empowers users to actively participate in energy markets, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and intelligent energy ecosystem.

still in its nascent stages. As with any emerging interdisciplinary field, there
exist knowledge gaps that need addressing to ensure a seamless and effective
amalgamation of AI and energy. Here are some areas where further clarity is
required.
Standardisation of AI Algorithms: There's a pressing need for standardised
protocols and benchmarks for AI algorithms in the energy sector to ensure
consistency and reliability.
Transparency in AI Decision Making: The 'black box' nature of certain AI
models poses challenges in understanding their decision-making processes,
especially in critical energy management scenarios.


Economic Implications: A deeper understanding of the economic implications
of integrating AI into the energy sector, both in terms of investment and
potential returns.
