## Summary

Henrik Mannesson, General Manager of Grid Infrastructure and Power Delivery at Texas Instruments, discusses the evolution of smart grids, emphasizing the shift from simple metering to real-time energy management. He details how semiconductors like wide band gap devices (GaN) and precision current sensing are enabling higher efficiency in solar, EV charging, and grid stabilization. Mannesson explains the technical requirements for bi-directional power flow, dynamic pricing, and the increasing role of edge processing and AI in balancing generation and consumption.
