Abstract

Smart microgrids (SMGs) have emerged as a key solution to enhance energy management and sustainability within decentralized energy systems. This paper presents SmartGrid AI, a platform integrating deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and neural networks to optimize energy consumption, predict demand, and facilitate peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading. The platform dynamically adapts to real-time energy demand and supply fluctuations, achieving a 23% reduction in energy costs, a 40% decrease in grid dependency, and an 85% renewable energy utilization rate. Furthermore, AI-driven P2P trading mechanisms demonstrate that 18% of electricity consumption is handled through efficient decentralized exchanges. The integration of vehicle-to-home (V2H) technology allows electric vehicle (EV) batteries to store surplus renewable energy and supply 15% of household energy demand during peak hours. Real-time data from Saudi Arabia validated the system’s performance, highlighting its scalability and adaptability to diverse energy market conditions. The quantitative results suggest that SmartGrid AI is a revolutionary method of sustainable and cost-effective energy management in SMGs.
