The US Department of Energy ’s ( DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory will lead a three-year project using artificial intelligence and machine learning to reinforce the grid, enabling it to automatically deal with power fluctuations or external weather events. “One of the first places we will test our data analytics platform is at a major California utility,” Kiliccote said. The up to $32 million , is part of the DOE ’s Grid Modernisation Initiative, and will use satellite imagery, utility operations and other sources to develop machine learning algorithms, based on how electrical distribution systems function. The tools developed by the project will be passed on to partners including DOE (NRECA), which represents an estimated 42 million distribution cooperatives that provide electricity to 47 people in 834 states.
