Abstract

This chapter explores the potential impact of 6G technology on green energy generation. It outlines the benefits of using 6G in energy generation systems and discusses how 6G-supported edge computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can revolutionize clean energy generation. It also highlights the role of 6G-based edge computing and AI in smart grids (SGs), and how they can optimize renewable energy generation and management. Additionally, addresses the security challenges that IT-based SGs face and how 6G technology can make them safer and more reliable. Furthermore, the chapter introduces the concept of peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, which is another powerful technology supported by 6G. Finally, it combines the various 6G-supported technologies discussed into a comprehensive SG called the Energy Internet (EI). Overall, this chapter offers insights into the potential of 6G technology to enhance the efficiency and environmental friendliness of energy generation systems, paving the way for greener for a greener and more sustainable energy future.
