Battery Researchers Look to Artificial Intelligence to Slash Recharging Times
Today’s EV fast-charging technology remains slow by gas-station standards. Faster testing processes for new charging techniques would help. The battery sector is turning to artificial intelligence for clues on how to improve recharging rates without increasing the degradation of lithium-ion batteries. Last month, a team from Stanford University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the […]
Artificial Intelligence: Disrupting the Energy Sector for the Better
Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly finding its way into every industry and sector. Today’s supercomputing semiconductor chips can execute thousands of calculations at once. And they do it at speeds of billions of times per second. This means energy, engineering, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications and transportation are all benefitting in some form from AI. In 2017, the global AI market was worth […]
Why artificial intelligence is essential for utilities’ success in the new energy world
Artificial Intelligence, or AI for short, is nothing new; it goes way back to the 1950s. But things are different now; the vast volumes of data and the computing capabilities we have today mean we can do things better. So, what pain points are utilities seeing today that AI can help with? Let me share […]
Artificial Intelligence Pushes ‘Commoditized’ Wind and Solar Power Into the Money
The last wave of renewable-energy venture investing focused on hardware. Today’s investments are largely in digital technologies, the author writes. In April, for the first time in the U.S., renewables generated more electricity than coal, according to the Energy Information Administration. Now that renewable technologies like wind and solar are largely commoditized, investors and utilities […]
Drones and Crawling Robots Will Soon Be Inspecting Wind Turbines
Sending humans up cranes or down ropes to inspect wind rotor blades is expensive and potentially dangerous. Robots are coming to help. Lashed by rain and hail, subjected to freezes and thaws, and tested by the sheer girth of towers and blades stretching ever skyward. Much is asked of the wind turbines expected to generate […]
