Forecasting the Future:How Artificial Intelligence Is Revolutionizing Global Energy Demand Prediction

Accurate energy demand forecasting is crucial in today’s rapidly electrifying world with decentralized systems and integrated renewables. Traditional models struggle with the dynamic complexities, but AI (artificial intelligence), particularly ML (machine learning) and DL (deep learning), offers transformative solutions. This article explores how AI enhances forecasting accuracy, enables real-time adaptability, and supports strategic energy management. It examines the synergy between AI, IoT(Internet of Things) devices, and smart grids in generating predictive and prescriptive insights. Through case studies, we analyze the benefits and challenges of deploying AI in this domain, including data quality, model explainability, and infrastructure needs. Ultimately, AI emerges as a key enabler for the resilient, data-driven energy systems required to meet modern society’s evolving demands and achieve a sustainable future.
