Sensors and artificial intelligence are making their way into electricity grids, forming more “intelligent” networks, also known as smart grids. CNRS Researcher Nouredine Hadjsaid (DesCartes Program WP8) explains the issues and challenges posed by these new systems, which are responsible for optimising the balance between electricity production and consumption.
