TL;DR
AI is poised to transform India's solar-EV grid, enhancing efficiency by up to 30% and improving affordability by optimizing energy use and reducing losses, states Schneider Electric EVP.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to play a pivotal role in integrating solar energy, electric vehicle (EV) charging, and battery storage within India's power grid, according to Frederic Godemel, EVP–Energy Management at Schneider Electric. As India's power demand is projected to reach 366 GW by 2030, AI is deemed crucial for optimizing this complex energy ecosystem.
Godemel highlights that AI can enhance efficiency by up to 30% on existing infrastructure, significantly reducing technical losses which currently stand around 15% in India. By identifying inefficiencies, shifting demand to off-peak periods, and improving asset utilization, AI promises to make electricity production more affordable and resilient. The focus is now on accelerating the deployment of solar, batteries, and digital systems to achieve these benefits.
