Podcast Special: AI, inverters and a smarter grid

Published by

In the second episode of a special series on Locking in the Green Energy Transition, we take a look at one of the key challenges of a grid dominated by wind, solar and storage. In this episode, Kate Muller from Norton Rose Fulbright talks with Habitat’s Ben Irons and colleague Nick Abrahams on the role AI will play in a grid making switch from spinning machines to inverter-based tech.
