This month... Читать дальше...
Research by a leading energy body shows that the cost of balancing Britain’s National Grid has leaped 55 percent in the last two years. Research conducted by the Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) and shared exclusively with City A.M, show that in 2022 and 2023, the National Grid Electricity Systems Operator (ESO) spent £7bn of consumer money on gas to fill in when renewable energy sources were not meeting demand. This is has more than doubled from the combined £3bn spent through 2019 and 2020. Balancing... Читать дальше...
Two weeks ago, we reported how Artificial Intelligence (AI), cryptocurrency mining and clean energy manufacturing are powering the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or simply 4R, and driving disruptive trends including the rise of data and connectivity, analytics, human-machine interaction, and improvements in robotics. Unfortunately, these secular megatrends are pushing the U.S. power grid to its limits. According to Sreedhar Sistu, vice president of artificial intelligence at Schneider Electric (OTCPK:SBGSF)...
