Mouser Launches New EIT Series to Explore Technology Innovations for Sustainable Smart Grids

September 24, 2024 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., an authorized global distributor of electronic components and industrial automation products focused on New Product Introductions, has released a new technical content for its Empowering Innovation Together (EIT) program, exploring the benefits of incorporating renewable energy into smart grid technology and focusing on the role of AI and 5G in achieving sustainable grid management.

Smart grid systems enable not only greater accuracy in monitoring and distributing power, but also two-way communication between the system and users. This decentralized approach allows smart grids to recycle power from a variety of sources, including stored renewable energy. These innovative technologies are expected to support charging infrastructure for 50% of passenger vehicles, meeting the electricity needs of a growing global population, thereby promoting a more reliable and sustainable future grid. In this issue of EIT, engineers will explore the benefits and challenges of transitioning to smart grid systems, study the hardware involved in this process, and discuss the market potential of this technology.

In the latest episode of the Tech Between You and Me podcast, Mouser's Director of Technical Content and host Raymond Yan had a conversation with Chris Irwin, a program manager at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Electricity. They discussed IoT integration related to smart grids and how to ensure the reliability and resilience of smart grids. In addition, Del Stephens, Chief Technology Officer of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) at Summit Human Capital, shared the role of electric vehicles (EVs) in the power grid and various ways to ease and stabilize energy consumption.

“The smart grid is more of a revolution in energy management than an upgrade,” said Raymond Yan. “With AI, 5G, and renewable energy, today’s engineers are working to find solutions that will redefine the power industry. The technology behind the smart grid has tremendous potential, and we’re excited to share our insights with you.”

This issue of EIT provides a wealth of resources for engineering professionals, including technical articles, use cases, infographics, videos, and exclusive content for subscribers. Since its launch in 2015, Mouser's EIT program has become one of the most well-known and market-recognized promotion programs in the electronic components industry.
