The industry of the
future comes to accelerate the modernization of the industrial tool, in the
context of the deployment of new technologies. IoT, Artificial Intelligence,
Big Data Analytics, Digital Twins, virtual & augmented reality, and
advanced technological tools must collaborate for the foundation of the new
industrial model. They constitute an opportunity to improve the attractiveness
of different industrial applications. Buildings, charging stations, factories
and industrial zones are considered the main consumer of energy sources in
urban areas. Over the decades, electricity generation has undergone several
evolutions, moving from decentralized to centralized energy and arriving at
distributed energy with the integration of renewable sources. The integration
of renewable energy sources has been considered as an alternative option used
by governments instead of upgrading traditional power stations. This is due to
the availability of renewable energy sources and their advantages, including
cost effectiveness, inexhaustibility, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. As
for modernization, it is indeed about integrating new technologies to improve
energy production and consumption. In this talk, we will present the evolution
of industrial sectors using new technologies impacting both the production and
consumption of energy.
