A company called BluWave-ai plans to use what it has learned from working with the Summerside\u00a0electric utility over the last three years to expand its work to smart grids around the world.<\/p>\n

The new Canadian Smart Grid AI Centre of Excellence will also give university researchers a real world opportunity to test new products and concepts that take advantage of artificial intelligence, or AI.<\/p>\n

“When we started BluWave-ai, as you can imagine, as a high tech-startup, you don’t have a lot of budget to put up wind farms and solar panels and battery storage, and you don’t have a grid to meter up,” said company\u00a0CEO Devashish Paul, who is based in Ottawa.<\/p>\n

“So we embarked on a path to find suitable partners in the Canadian electricity market who may have some of those assets, and we figured that we’d have to get wind somewhere, solar somewhere else.”<\/p>\n
