# 2024 GRACE |
|
The GRACE project revolutionises energy management by addressing the challenges of integrating renewable sources into electrical grids. Traditional grids struggle with the unpredictability of renewables, leading to inefficiencies and high costs. GRACE uses AI and digital twin technologies to optimise energy distribution, providing accurate demand forecasts and real-time adjustments. This reduces energy waste, lowers operational expenses by up to 5%, and improves grid efficiency by up to 30%. GRACE's adaptability makes it suitable for diverse environments, supporting global sustainability goals
