THE ENERGY INTERVIEW to deliver real-time insights like reminders to plug in an electric car when solar power is available,” Frédéric says. The platform enables‘ prosumers’ – consumers who also produce energy – to maximise their renewable energy and use grid energy at its cheapest rates, contributing to both emissions and cost reduction.
AI’ s ability to generate actionable insights from complex data while remaining user-friendly shapes a more responsible energy culture.“ AI provides advice, empowering users to make smarter energy choices without needing to understand all the technical details,” Frédéric says.
AI-driven microgrids and scalability Schneider Electric deploys its AI solutions across its own facilities, such as the Boston R & D hub. The facility uses a microgrid system integrating solar panels, battery storage and grid connection, managed by Schneider’ s EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor.
A microgrid is a localised energy network( typically solar or wind) that enhances energy resilience, efficiency, and sustainability by operating either independently or connected to the main grid, leveraging local energy generation and storage. Frédéric explains:“ In Boston, for example, our microgrid optimises use of solar generation,
