Researchers engineer AI path to prevent power outages
How does the AI system prevent power outages?
The AI system prevents power outages by automatically rerouting electricity in milliseconds, using "self-healing grid" technology. It detects and repairs problems such as outages autonomously and without human intervention when issues occur, such as storm-damaged power lines5. The system can quickly identify alternative routes to transfer electricity to users before an outage occurs, ensuring continuous power supply.
What AI model did University of Texas at Dallas researchers develop?
University of Texas at Dallas researchers developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that could help electrical grids prevent power outages by automatically rerouting electricity in milliseconds16. This self-healing grid technology uses AI to detect and repair problems such as outages autonomously and without human intervention.
What is "self-healing grid" technology?
Self-healing grid technology is an AI-based system that can detect and repair problems in electrical grids autonomously and without human intervention. It uses machine learning to map the complex relationships between entities in a power distribution network and can automatically reroute electrical flow in milliseconds, preventing power outages1.
