Artificial intelligence: The key to the energy transition in Germany!
Find out how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing solar and wind power and supporting Germany's energy transition by 2045.
Artificial intelligence: The key to the energy transition in Germany!
The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the energy industry is constantly growing and will be crucial for the future development of the solar industry. The use of AI in the photovoltaic and wind energy industries is already showing significant increases in efficiency and automation processes. The extent to which AI could also enable higher dimensions of being and consciousness is discussed. This is covered in the book "Leaping Consciousness with AI? Spiritual Conversations with Artificial Intelligence" by Sabina Giuletti and Claude, which emphasizes the differences between machine and human learning. Pope Leo XIV draws parallels between the challenges posed by the AI revolution and the first industrial revolution. The Ökonews also reports that the German federal government plans to become climate neutral by 2045, with AI playing a supporting role.
A central aspect of the energy transition in Germany is the use of green electricity and electrically powered heat pumps. These technologies are identified as key to achieving the goal of climate neutrality. The added value of AI in this context could not only increase efficiency, but also contribute to CO2 reduction. However, the question of whether AI can promote a leap in consciousness and greater responsibility for future generations remains open.
Intelligent electricity meters as a component of the energy transition
Another important advance in the German energy transition is the introduction of intelligent electricity meters, known as “smart meters”. These digital meters transmit data automatically and encrypted into the intelligent power grid (Smart Grid). The analog “Ferraris meter” has been used in Germany for over 100 years, resulting in a current smart meter coverage of just under one percent in German households. KfW highlights that from 2025 the installation of smart meters will be mandatory for households with an annual electricity consumption of more than 6,000 kWh.
The widespread use of smart meters is crucial so that consumers can benefit from the flexible electricity market. Countries such as Sweden, Denmark and Finland have already successfully installed smart electricity meters. The planned expansion to all households from 2025 will improve access to these building blocks of the energy transition.
Artificial intelligence as a universal technology
The use of AI in the energy industry is seen as crucial. BDEW has published a publication together with the appliedAI Initiative that is intended to provide an understandable introduction to AI and its recommendations for action. The high need for information and education as well as the misunderstandings about AI illustrate the need to sensitize decision-makers in the energy industry to the potential of AI.
Technological advances in machine learning are already enabling successful applications in the energy industry. The use of AI can lead to increased efficiency, improved customer service and a reduction in CO2 emissions. Political support is essential in order not to lose touch with international AI pioneers and to ensure the competitiveness of the German energy industry. The drive for a sustainable restructuring of the energy system is further fueled by the role of AI.
In summary, it can be seen that the integration of artificial intelligence and intelligent electricity meters will be key factors for Germany's energy future. Humans and AI could work together as companions to develop innovative solutions for sustainable energy supply.
