Energy Efficiency – A Societal Challenge. Smart Energy Management Systems

Energy efficiency by prediction and renewable energy sources will increase resiliency (preparing for unexpected events) and reduce CO₂ emissions (sustainability)

•   Electricity forecasting is crucial for energy management, optimizing distribution, reducing waste, and preventing power system overloads.

•    The involvement of prosumers is key to building resilience in energy systems, enabling them to react swiftly to fluctuations in energy demand and supply.

Context
With rising energy demands, environmental constraints, and digital transformation, optimizing energy usage is not optional—it’s essential.
