Smart Grid Management with AI Driven Analytics in Solar Energy

This paper presents an AI-driven framework for real-time smart grid optimization tailored specifically for solar energy integration. The proposed system features a multi-layered architecture that integrates data acquisition from solar irradiance sensors, smart meters, and meteorological sources with advanced pre-processing techniques to ensure data quality and fusion. Using advanced deep learning architectures, such as Long Short-Term Memory networks for forecasting solar irradiance and regression methodologies for predicting load, our proposed framework dynamically adjusts energy dispatch and demand response measures to address the inherent variability associated with solar power. Additionally, a combined strategy that incorporates reinforcement learning is implemented to improve real-time grid stability and operational efficiency, and explainable artificial intelligence methods are used to provide clarity in decision-making processes. Simulation studies conducted on an enhanced IEEE 24-bus test system have shown to reduce forecast error by up to 30% and prevent the occurrence of grid instability events by about 40% in contrast with traditional methods. These results are promising for AI-based analytics since it promises to enhance smart grid functionality and enable more sustainable use of renewable resources. Further research will develop this model with additional renewable energy sources and increase cybersecurity.
