The Open Power AI Consortium was announced at NVIDIA's developer conference, involving energy and tech companies in a collaboration to improve electric power management using AI. Organized by EPRI, key members include Nvidia, Microsoft, AWS, and Oracle, although major AI developers like Google are missing. The focus is on processing large datasets from energy companies to enhance grid reliability and optimize performance. Over two dozen U.S. regional power companies are onboard. Plans for government inclusion have been mentioned to address regulatory roles in the energy sector.
This initiative is about getting the right data, and getting it clean, so that it can be used for AI, emphasizes Jeremy Renshaw, highlighting the significance of data organization for AI applications in energy.
The consortium aims to create an AI model, datasets, and apps tailored to enhance grid reliability, optimize asset performance, and enable more efficient energy management, according to EPRI's CEO.
