Advanced technologies to foster smart cities

Artificial intelligence and solar energy can play a vital and profitable role in providing power to smart cities to fulfil sustainability goals.
The rising population and growth in urbanisation call for the development of smart cities, which have technology-driven infrastructure and asset management systems. The adoption of the Internet of Things, also known as IoT, technology in smart cities has provided the ability to manage traffic flows, monitor city infrastructure, and monitor air and water quality. These cities are responsible for ensuring high standards in public health, environmental safety, and efficient utilisation of resources, as well as meeting the rising demand for efficient energy consumption. Other technology adoptions, such as artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, big data analytics, cloud computing, and cognitive computing, are the growth drivers of smart cities. Thus, they are a sustainable and efficient urban centre that aims to provide a high quality of life by optimising resources.
As urban areas are expanding rapidly, managing energy is one of the challenging goals that these cities are facing. Thus, it becomes an integral component of urban transformation. Energy management plays a critical role in finding a suitable and reliable solution to curtail peak demand and achieve energy conservation.
Smart grids that use advanced metering infrastructures, smart distribution boards integrated with load control switches, and smart appliances perform various operations and provide energy management capability using renewable energy resources.
