Introduction
As the demand for electricity continues to grow worldwide, the maintenance of power grids has become increasingly important to ensure the reliability and efficiency of the electrical distribution system. Traditionally, grid maintenance has been carried out based on scheduled inspections and reactive maintenance strategies, which can be costly and inefficient. However, with the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, there is a growing interest in using AI for predictive grid maintenance.
This thesis aims to explore the role of AI in predictive grid maintenance and its potential benefits in enhancing the reliability and efficiency of power grids. By leveraging AI algorithms and machine learning techniques, predictive maintenance can help utilities to identify potential issues in the grid before they lead to costly failures, thereby improving the overall grid performance.
