Smart Cities Marketplace Webinar: AI Applications in the Energy Sector

AI visual

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the energy sector has emerged as a pivotal force in reshaping the landscape for smart cities and power systems. This transformative journey is marked by innovative trends, strategic applications, and challenges faced by local authorities. This Smart Cities Marketplace webinar aims to provide insights into the vast potential and complexities of AI deployment in the energy sector at the city level.

As the energy sector embraces AI, the investment landscape evolves dynamically. Investors, city officials, and businesses find opportunities in strategic applications that empower local authorities to assess the value and appropriateness of AI. The emphasis of the webinar is on responsible and people-centric digital transformation, fostering sustainable growth in cities.

The Smart Cities Marketplace event will introduce several latest trends and examples of good practices in several sectors, including energy (e.g. AI forecasts electricity generation, mitigating the intermittent nature of renewable sources. Predictive maintenance to minimise emissions and reduce costs. Transmission and distribution benefitting from predictive maintenance, system optimization, and control, alongside forecasting supply and demand), mobility (e.g. Public transport optimisation through ridesharing and transportation demand forecasting. Transportation infrastructure improved in EV infrastructure, traffic flow, and predictive maintenance for roads), water and waste management (e.g. AI predicting water quality and manages wastewater, optimising waste collection, transportation, and disposal; forecasting waste generation and classifying consumption patterns, ensuring efficient treatment and disposal processes).

The Smart Cities Marketplace webinar will also allow participants to exchange about the challenges they are facing in the adoption of AI-based applications, including technological, social, and regulatory challenges in AI adoption. Other issues that will be discussed include technology and data reliability, dependency on third parties, skills gaps, ethical concerns, and the difficulty of regulating interdependent infrastructures and data.

This Smart Cities Marketplace webinar targets city officials, businesses, investors, researchers, and professionals engaged or interested in the energy sector, smart city development, and AI technologies.

It will provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Join us to engage in the future of AI applications in the energy sector, shaping the cities of tomorrow.
