AI and Energy Storage: An Interdependent Community Driving Each Other's Fate

Recently, Tesla CEO Elon Musk remotely attended the Bosch Connected World 2024 conference, where he remarked on artificial intelligence, stating, "The computing power of artificial intelligence seems to increase tenfold every six months. A little over a year ago, there was a shortage of chips, but next year you will see a shortage of electricity, unable to meet the demands of all chips." This highlights the rapid momentum of artificial intelligence development, with energy and storage technology needing to meet the significant computational and power demands, becoming a major bottleneck.

The development of storage, be it industrial or household, globally depends heavily on artificial intelligence. Industrial storage relies on AI for efficient energy management, while household storage benefits from AI for improved user experience, energy efficiency, and intelligent monitoring. Major battery manufacturers in China are actively integrating AI into storage solutions to drive innovation and development.

Thus, it is evident that artificial intelligence and storage are mutually reinforcing components of a shared destiny.

AI's Ultimate Destination Is Photovoltaics and Energy Storage!

Jensen Huang, the founder, and CEO of NVIDIA, a globally leading manufacturer of artificial intelligence chips, explicitly said during a conversation with the UAE Minister of State at the "WORLD GOVERNMENTS SUMMIT" on February 12, 2024: "We must not only focus on computational power. If we only consider computers, we would need to burn the energy equivalent to 14 Earths." The ultimate destination of AI is evident in photovoltaics and energy storage!

A recent article in Nature further highlights that an assessment reveals ChatGPT has consumed the energy equivalent of 33,000 households. Energy consumption from search powered by generative artificial intelligence is four to five times higher than that of traditional web searches.

Meanwhile, CEO Sam Altman of OpenAI highlighted this need, noting the escalating power demands of AI models, “Future artificial intelligence will require breakthroughs in energy, as the power consumption of AI will far exceed people's expectations.”

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has led to unparalleled growth in the global AI industry. However, this growth presents a significant challenge: the immense energy consumption of AI systems exceeds expectations, necessitating breakthroughs in energy and energy storage for continued development.

AI Empowers Energy Storage: Efficient Energy Utilization and Intelligent Control Adjustment

The energy industry requires a significant amount of infrastructure to support its operations and generates a vast amount of data, such as energy storage consumption, among others. Artificial intelligence can assist in analyzing this data, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing costs. Many energy companies are now adopting AI technologies to streamline operations. For example, the United States has begun using AI systems to monitor the performance of wind turbines, which has improved operational efficiency, covering wind power installed capacity in the United States reaching 700 gigawatts.

?

Furthermore, the completeness and stability of the electricity grid infrastructure are crucial for the utilization of renewable energy. As renewable energy sources are affected by factors like weather, such as decreased solar output on cloudy days and uncertainty in wind power generation due to changes in wind speed, the stability of the grid directly impacts the efficiency of renewable energy utilization.

So, for large-scale energy storage projects:

Energy storage is a vital component of renewable energy, especially concerning grid-independent energy and uninterrupted power supply. Solar and wind energy are subject to weather conditions, limiting their operation. Artificial intelligence has various applications in energy storage systems, such as remote monitoring and battery maintenance. Intelligent energy storage systems enhance the efficiency of renewable energy systems.

?

Through data collection and predictive analysis, we can better understand the performance of energy storage systems and anticipate potential faults. Introducing artificial intelligence into energy storage systems will increase the normal operating time of batteries and improve the return on investment. Battery diagnosis and management are the primary areas where AI has a significant impact on battery operation.
