Renewable energy and 4th industrial revolution

Renewable energy and 4th industrial revolution

 Today I want to talk about the relationship between the 4th Industrial Revolution and the renewable energy issue.

What is the 4th Industrial Revolution?

The fourth revolution represents new technological innovations in six areas:

1.      Big data analytics.

2.      Artificial intelligence

3.      Robotics

4.      The internet of Things unmanned transportation

5.      3D printing

6.     Nanotechnology

In other words, the direction of the 4th industrial revolution is connection, decentralization, decentralization, sharing, and openness. 

First, the 4th Industrial Revolution changes the power supply method from a centralized method to a distributed generation method. In the process of electricity production, transportation, and consumption, Internet technology is used to transform the power grid into a smart grid that operates on the same principle as the Internet. In addition, real-time trading from many places to less places will be possible.

4th Industrial Revolution and Energy Issues

At first glance, I think that as the 4th Industrial Revolution develops, energy use will drop dramatically, but it is not. Even if artificial intelligence works on behalf of humans, energy consumption does not decrease, and 0.2 g of carbon dioxide is emitted every time you search the Internet. In addition, reducing the amount of energy used to solve global warming.

The biggest challenge facing humanity is an important issue.

New and renewable energy attracting attention in the 4th industrial revolution

Among the renewable energy sources, solar and wind power are the most anticipated in the 4th industrial revolution. However, since the effective area of ​​sunlight varies depending on the latitude of the earth and toxic substances come out in the process of making solar panels, which are electronic products, whether it is environmentally friendly remains controversial. Wind power is not stable because it is difficult to predict how the wind will blow, and wind power plants will generate low-frequency noise or environmental problems.
