Transition-AI 2024

Transition-AI 2024

The state of play for AI in the power sector

Hosted by Latitude Media

In 2024, the impacts of AI on the power sector are inescapable. Across the country, utilities, IPPs, and transmission operators are evaluating, piloting, and deploying AI-based solutions to address critical challenges across their networks. At the same time, they’re seeing unprecedented load growth driven by AI-specific data centers.

At Transition-AI 2024, Latitude Media will convene a broad range of experts around the AI-energy nexus, focusing both on successes and challenges with integrating AI across the power sector. The full day's agenda will include thoughtful discussions, case studies, panel sessions, and analyst presentations around three urgent themes:

Asset and grid reliability – From grid modeling and planning to automated asset inspection, vegetation management, wildfire detection, and anomaly detection, AI solutions offer new levels of visibility into asset management and are setting the stage for true predictive maintenance.

Customer analytics and user experience – Utilities are leveraging AI in limited ways to address their customers today, from segmentation, onboarding, and program management to enhanced customer service offerings. The advent of AMI 2.0, smart EV charging demands, and the opportunity to use advanced chatbots to augment customer service present many questions to utilities looking to enhance customer-side operations and service today.

Data centers and load growth – The rapid rise of AI is driving power demand far beyond initial forecasts, presenting serious challenges to utilities and system operators. At the same time, AI is improving resource planning and forecasting capabilities to generate more efficient operation within the power sector.

Questions facing the power sector today around AI:

• Is the right data available to power AI solutions with sufficient accuracy?
• What are the internal resources required to introduce AI-powered solutions?
• How can utilities and developers meet surging power demands while staying within their net-zero goals?
• How to best set KPIs and measure effectiveness of AI solutions
• What are the key steps to take in a digital journey from traditional analytics to AI-powered solutions?
• As a generation or storage asset owner, how to best leverage AI for siting, sizing, forecasting and asset management?
• Could AI actually be part of the solution for optimization around data center, EV, and electrification load growth?
• How will AI play in utility efforts to improve customer experience?

Over the course of one day, you'll:

• Gain an understanding of the use cases and market opportunities for AI in the power sector
• Hear case studies that illustrate how AI is being piloted and deployed today
• Understand how AI is forcing grid planners to rethink their forecasts and grapple with unprecedented load growth
• Learn from experts and peers through a mix of keynotes, panels and workshop sessions
• Learn how utilities are setting KPIs for their AI deployments and how early deployments are measuring up against those
• Hear from Latitude Intelligence on the outcomes of recent research into the AI market
