AI-powered smart grids use predictive analytics for efficient energy management, while blockchain provides a secure, transparent platform for decentralized energy trading. This integration optimizes renewable energy use and enhances grid reliability. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are crucial for managing the complex, two-way power flow in modern smart grids, especially with intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Blockchain technology provides the secure and transparent framework necessary for decentralized energy markets, particularly for peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading.
